Season
During the 2022 season Duncan will be racing in LMP2 for United Autosports, competing in the European Le Mans Series as well as making a one off IMSA appearance at the Mobil 1 12 Hours of Sebring.
Duncan has raced for the team for the last two years, entering the LMP3 class of the ELMS alongside Jim McGuire and Andrew Bentley. This year he will move across to their LMP2 team, racing with Phil Hanson and Tom Gamble with the ELMS championship title firmly the aim. He will also team up with Jim McGuire and Guy Smith in the Mobil 1 12 Hours of Sebring in March.
Duncan said: “I am so excited to be joining the #22 ELMS crew in LMP2, sharing the car with Phil and Tom. They were both super-fast last year and they did a mega job so I’m hoping to be able to build on that and contribute to the championship challenge. I’m also very excited to be joining Jim McGuire and Guy Smith at Sebring for the 12-hour race. I’ll be making my IMSA debut and it’s a race I’ve always wanted to do, so can’t wait to turn some laps on the iconic circuit.
“I want to thank Zak and Richard and of course Jim for making this happen. I can’t wait to get stuck into a new challenge. 2022 is going to be an exciting year.”
