Nicolas Costa completes the first United Autosports lineup for the 2024 FIA World Endurance Championship season.
On a Friday of announcements, with the arrival of Nico Pino for the #95 McLaren of the British team, the line-up of the #59 720S GT3 EVO is also completed with the hiring of the Brazilian driver.
Costa has just become Champion in his home country in the single-brand Porsche Carrera Cup and in the past he has also graced the stages of Italian tracks racing in the Italian GT with the VSR Lamborghini.
For his debut in the LMGT3 Class of the top endurance series he will join Grégoire Saucy and James Cottingham, in a totally new challenge for him.
