Correa will pilot the No.2 United Autosports ORECA 07 alongside Nick Boulle, the current Jim Trueman Award winner, and Ben Hanley for the remainder of the IMSA Michelin Endurance Cup.
With significant experience in both Formula 2 (68 starts from 2019-2024) and sports car racing, Correa brings valuable expertise to the team. His achievements include an ELMS LMP2 race win at the 2022 4 Hours of Portimaõ and a Le Mans debut in 2023, where he finished 16th in class.
"I'm thrilled to be back racing stateside after an extended period in Europe," said Correa. "IMSA has been on my radar for a while, and I'm confident we will find shared success."
United Autosports CEO Richard Dean praised Correa's endurance racing prowess, noting his ELMS victory and WEC performance as indicators of his potential contribution to the team.
The team enters Sebring following a mixed Daytona performance, where their No. 2 ORECA suffered a race-ending multi-car accident, while their No. 22 car secured victory after Tower Motorsports' disqualification.
Prior to this IMSA opportunity, Correa recently tested a Super Formula car at Suzuka Circuit in December, demonstrating his versatility across different racing platforms.
