Leeds, United Kingdom — United Autosports is proud to announce a powerful partnership extension with IPA, an innovative daughter company of long-standing partner RDA. The agreement marks the next chapter in a relationship built on trust, technical excellence and a shared commitment to innovation.
IPA operates at the intersection of intellectual property, technology and strategic commercialisation. The company supports organisations with strong IP portfolios by helping them protect, structure, and unlock the full value of their innovations: particularly in highly technical and fast-moving sectors. This philosophy aligns naturally with international motorsport, where performance advantages are driven by innovation, data and the intelligent protection of competitive knowhow.
As an Official Team Partner, IPA branding will be featured prominently on all United Autosports race cars and across all United Autosports championships. Most notably, IPA is showcased on the #5 entry in the Asian Le Mans Series, around which IPA has launched an engaging behind-the-scenes video series, giving fans unique access to the inner workings of the team, its technology, and its people.
Kevin Auchoybur, MD of IPA, said:
“Motorsport has always resonated deeply with us; it is innovation under pressure, where intellectual property, engineering excellence and execution must align perfectly. Our long-standing relationship with United Autosports has been built on shared values and mutual respect, and we are incredibly proud to extend that partnership through IPA. Our work focuses on helping innovative companies protect and maximise the value of their IP, and the parallels with elite motorsport could not be clearer.”
Richard Dean, CEO and Team Principal of United Autosports, added:
“Our relationship with Kevin and his team goes back many years and is built on genuine trust and alignment. We are proud to see that relationship evolve further through IPA and extend across our wider racing programmes, including ALMS and IMSA. These are partnerships that go far beyond branding; they are about shared thinking and long-term collaboration.”
