Former British Supersport biker Josh Caygill is set to return to GT racing in 2024, becoming the final driver named in United Autosports’ FIA WEC LMGT3 driver line-up.
Caygill, who has been competing in LMP3 competition for the past two years as part of the ELMS and Le Mans Cup, will team up with Marino Sato and Nico Pino in the #95 McLaren 720S GT3 EVO.
“I am absolutely over the moon to be racing the #95 McLaren in the World Endurance Championship,” says Caygill. “This will be my first season on the world stage, and in a McLaren! I am so excited for this opportunity.”
The race in Qatar to open the season next month will be Caygill’s first race start in a GT car since the end of his 2021 Porsche Carerra Cup GB campaign. Prior to that, he made GT3 appearances in the Blancpain GT Series, VLN and 24H Series.
“Josh is another fantastic addition to our WEC team, completing a dynamic line-up in the #95 with co-drivers Marino Sato and Nico Pino,” says Richard Dean, United Autosports CEO.
“His development with United Autosports over the past two years has been clear, celebrating a pole position and podiums along the way, and I know he will give his full focus to this new challenge in partnership with McLaren Automotive.”
United’s 2024 FIA WEC line-up is now complete. Caygill, Sato and Pino will share its #95, while James Cottingham, Gregoire Saucy and Nicolas Costa will drive the sister #59.
