DALLAS, Jan. 23, 2025 — Nick Boulle of de Boulle Diamond & Jewelry has been confirmed to race with United Autosports in the LMP2 #2 car for the prestigious 2025 Rolex 24, taking place from January 23rd through the 26th at the Daytona International Speedway in Daytona Beach, Florida. Known for its around-the-clock racing challenge, the Rolex 24 is celebrated as one of the world’s premier endurance races, testing both the fortitude and strength of its competitors.
In the #2 ORECA 07, reigning IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar LMP2 Champion Boulle will team up with an impressive roster of drivers. This includes GT World Challenge Australia Pro/Am multi-race-winner and Asian Le Mans LMP2 podium placer Garnet Patterson, five-time IMSA race winner and 2020 Daytona race winner Ben Hanley, and 2022 IMSA DPi Champion, Daytona race winner, and two-time Le Mans race winner Oliver Jarvis. This established team is ready to face fierce competition in the LMP2 category and aims for victory.
Coming off a championship-winning season, Nick is excited to contribute his expertise to this legendary endurance race. “United Autosports’ robust track record of success and dedication to excellence resonates with my passion for motorsport,” Boulle stated. “The United Autosports car is strikingly beautiful, and I am thrilled to share the track with this remarkable team and talented drivers. We are prepared to compete at the highest level and create something memorable.”
Boulle, classified as the team’s Bronze-graded driver, boasts extensive experience on some of the most prestigious endurance racecourses, including Le Mans, Spa-Francorchamps, and Daytona. This marks his eighth participation in this iconic race. He gained significant recognition in 2017, becoming the first certified Rolex retailer to win the Rolex 24 At Daytona in the LMPC class alongside Performance Tech Motorsports and PR1/Mathiasen Motorsport. In the previous season, he celebrated podium finishes at two Michelin Endurance Cup events – the Sahlen’s Six Hours of the Glen and the TireRack.com Battle on The Bricks – and secured a victory at the Chevrolet Grand Prix sprint race, laying a solid foundation for another successful LMP2 season.
Nick’s inclusion in the team highlights his rising stature in international motorsports. His consistency and ability to perform under pressure have solidified his reputation as one of the leading drivers in the LMP2 class. This opportunity with United Autosports not only sets him up for success at Daytona but also positions him as a strong contender throughout the 2025 season.
The Rolex 24 Hours at Daytona opens the IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship season, marking its 63rd installment this year. As a pivotal event of the IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship, the race features five competitive classes: Daytona Prototype International (DPi), Le Mans Prototype 2 (LMP2), Le Mans Prototype 3 (LMP3), and the GTD PRO class.
