Depois de quatro temporadas na IndyCar, Sting Ray Robb migra para os carros esportivos. O americano passará este inverno na Asian Le Mans Series com a United Autosports, a primeira experiência dele em protótipos.
Ele vai dividir o ORECA 07 Gibson número 22 com Ian Aguilera e Giorgio Roda. A United Autosports, dona de Zak Brown e Richard Dean, ganhou a série em 2018-19 e entra com o objetivo de somar outro título.
O calendário tem três etapas, todas na Europa por causa do conflito contínuo no Oriente Médio. A abertura é no Circuit Paul Ricard, em 14 e 15 de novembro.
“Estou incrivelmente animado por me juntar à United Autosports na Asian Le Mans Series”, disse Robb. “Depois de quatro temporadas disputando a IndyCar, tive a oportunidade de correr contra alguns dos melhores pilotos do mundo, e estou empolgado por levar essa experiência para um desafio completamente novo.”
Robb, de 25 anos, conseguiu dois resultados entre os dez na IndyCar e analisou opções no IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship para 2027 antes de surgir o programa asiático — uma rota que o coloca num caminho internacional mais amplo em LMP2, com espaço para crescer dentro da estrutura da United.
“Uma das maiores coisas que me atraíram na United foi a cultura de vitória que eles construíram”, disse. “A corrida de resistência traz um conjunto diferente de desafios, mas o objetivo é o mesmo: brigar na frente e vencer corridas.”
Seus companheiros trazem currículos contrastantes. Aguilera acaba de terminar em nono na European Le Mans Series com a CLX Motorsport e fez parte da formação mais jovem já alinhada nas 24 Horas de Le Mans. Roda, por sua vez, tem andado na ponta da classe LMP2 Pro-Am da ELMS e já conhece a equipe da última campanha asiática.
Com esses três confirmados, a United fecha uma ofensiva de vários carros: o carro irmão já tem Mikkel Jensen, Hunter McElrea e Phil Fayer contratados.
“É sempre empolgante ver pilotos de disciplinas diferentes entrando na corrida de resistência, e estamos ansiosos para apoiá-los nessa transição”, disse o CEO da United Autosports, Richard Dean. “Giorgio mostrou ritmo excepcional conosco na temporada passada e sabe exatamente o que é preciso para ser competitivo neste campeonato, e Ian é um jovem talento promissor.”
