United Autosports exits Supercars venture
As per the agreement, Walkinshaw Group and Andretti’s parent company TWG Global will consolidate their ownership and acquire United’s existing shareholding in the outfit.
The change will come into effect on 3 February and will see the team rebrand as Walkinshaw TWG Racing.
“It was an incredibly difficult decision to step away from Walkinshaw Andretti United, one that we didn’t take lightly. But with our WEC program and other racing commitments growing rapidly, the time was right to put our complete focus and energy into that,” said United co-owner Zak Brown.
Walkinshaw Andretti United was formed in 2018 when United Autosports and Andretti Autosport joined forces with Ryan Walkinshaw in the erstwhile factory Holden squad. Andretti and Walkinshaw each took a 37.5% stake in the rejigged organisation, with United acquiring the remaining 25%.

McLaren Racing is one of the only teams to have completed the Triple Crown of motorsport by winning the 24 Hours of Le Mans, Monaco Grand Prix, and Indianapolis 500—something the team hopes to replicate when it enters the premier class of the FIA World Endurance Championship.
Penned by the great Gordon Coppuck, the M16 IndyCar snared three wins in the Indy 500 to kick-start McLaren’s historic accomplishment. Mark Donohue claimed the first for McLaren as a customer team in 1972, driving a Penske-entered McLaren M16B. McLaren’s first Indy 500 win as a Works outfit came at the hands of Johnny Rutherford in 1974, a feat he repeated in 1976. Counting 16 victories around the principality’s streets, McLaren is the most successful team at the Monaco Grand Prix—a triumphant record ignited by Alain Prost aboard the MP4/2 in 1984.
The Triple Crown was then famously achieved in 1995 by the McLaren F1 GTR, a lightly adapted version of the revered road car. On McLaren’s 24 Hours of Le Mans debut, a three-pronged driver line-up of Yannick Dalmas, Masanori Sekiya, and JJ Lehto guided the Lanzante-run #59 machine to 1st place.
