The news follows on from the recent announcement that Filipe Albuquerque will also remain at the British squad for 2022. Both Hanson and Albuquerque will race in the same car next season. Their teammate, who will race alongside them, is still to be confirmed.
United Autosports will be entering two Oreca 07 LMP2 cars into next year’s WEC after confirming that 15-year-old Josh Pierson will also join their WEC team for 2022.
