The gold-rated Hanley was the first driver announced behind the wheel of the "Oreca 07 Gibson" #2, which he shared this year with Ben Keating, while Dan Goldburg will once again be di Resta's partner in car #22.
Goldburg had previously been confirmed as the first member of the "United" line-up for the IMSA Championship season in 2025. Hanley's second driver, who holds a bronze rating for the entire season, is unlikely to be Keating, as it is rumored that the Texan will move to the FIA WEC endurance racing championship with the "Chevrolet Corvette Z06 GT3.R" from "TF Sport".
"It's fantastic to be back for another season with the team," said Hanley. "We showed great pace pretty much everywhere... We were unlucky in some races, but winning at Road America proved what we are capable of. Considering all that we learned this year, we will aim for more victories and ultimately fight for the championship."
Meanwhile, factory driver for "Peugeot" di Resta will participate in all LMP2 races except for the event at Canadian Tire Motorsport Park, as it coincides with the WEC race in Interlagos.
"I am really excited to race alongside Dan next year," said di Resta. "I think it has been a huge challenge for Dan to race against guys who have been in LMP2 for a long time... and he held his head high. For the second year in a row, we won’t have to hide behind sliding doors, but given Dan's progress, how the team has integrated into the USA, and announcements of several new drivers, the foundation looks very solid. We will definitely be serious when we line up for this championship in Daytona... and until the last lap in Atlanta."
Team Principal Richard Dean added: "Paul and Ben are two incredibly talented drivers that we are very fortunate to work with year after year. With 2025 on the horizon, having a full IMSA season behind us, the desire to win... and win consistently... is even stronger, and when you aim for that level of success, Ben and Paul are two formidable forces to have on your side."
