Phil<br />
support one of the fastestgrowing<br />
teams in motorsport<br />
with flight services that will<br />
allow them to maximise their<br />
time competing globally<br />
heading into the World<br />
Endurance Championship and<br />
beyond,” says Myra Perez,<br />
executive director sales and<br />
service for <strong>NetJets</strong> Europe.<br />
The FIA World Endurance Championship is the pinnacle<br />
of endurance racing – the pinnacle of my discipline in<br />
racing – and it really is a global spectacle<br />
Hanson, United Autosports driver<br />
The WEC is a perfect<br />
opportunity to offer<br />
<strong>NetJets</strong>’ support to<br />
the United Autosports<br />
ambitions. It is a series of<br />
seven races ranging from<br />
the 1,000 Miles of Sebring,<br />
Florida, to the eight hours<br />
of Bahrain in November<br />
(via the world-renowned 24<br />
hours of Le Mans, as well as<br />
Portimão in Portugal, Spa in<br />
Belgium, Monza in Italy and<br />
Fuji in Japan). It is a test of<br />
the stamina of drivers and<br />
endurance and technical<br />
abilities of the car on a global<br />
stage. It is the ultimate<br />
challenge for the United<br />
Autosports team and one<br />
they are doing well to live up<br />
to at the moment.<br />
As Phil Hanson, a fullseason<br />
driver in the #22<br />
United Autosports LMP2<br />
car says: “The FIA World<br />
Endurance Championship is<br />
the pinnacle of endurance<br />
racing – the pinnacle of my<br />
discipline in racing – and it<br />
really is a global spectacle.<br />
You visit countless circuits<br />
across three continents –<br />
next year, four continents –<br />
travelling to some incredible<br />
places, including Japan –<br />
where we’ve just come back<br />
from with a podium result.<br />
I flew into Tokyo, which is<br />
one of my favourite cities.<br />
Quite often, I don’t get the<br />
chance to explore the culture<br />
and cities themselves, I’m<br />
much more familiar with<br />
the airports and hotels by<br />
the tracks! But when we’re<br />
flying further afield, I try to<br />
make a trip of it. Next year<br />
the championship will go<br />
to Brazil for the first time.<br />
It’s great to be part of a<br />
championship that puts on<br />
a show in all regions of the<br />
world.” unitedautosports.com<br />
