Ben Keating is poised to return to the 24 Hours of Le Mans in the LMP2 class, with confirmation that the Texan is the recipient of IMSA’s second automatic invite for the race.

The ACO confirmed the full list of 14 auto-invites on Monday, listing Keating Motorsports as IMSA’s designated LMP2 entry, alongside the previously announced GTE-Am class invite for Scuderia Corsa.

Keating revealed plans of entering a Riley Mk. 30 Gibson in the French endurance classic, pending invite, and had initially been linked with a potential joint effort with Visit Florida Racing, which had also been seeking an entry with a Riley LMP2 car.

It’s unclear if the two parties will be working together, or Visit Florida will be seeking an entry of its own.

Silver-rated Keating is likely to be joined by longtime co-driver Jeroen Bleekemolen at the wheel of the Riley at Le Mans.

The pairing will again team up for a full-season campaign in the IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship with Riley Motorsports, but with a new factory supported Mercedes-AMG GT3.

Other recently confirmed auto invites include newly crowned 2016/17 Asian Le Mans Series class champions Algarve Pro Racing (LMP2), Tockwith Motorsports (LMP3) and DH Racing (GT).

Entries are conditional on each car being entered in the European Le Mans Series, Asian Le Mans Series or WeatherTech Championship. All full-season

FIA World Endurance Championship entries, meanwhile, are given auto invites to Le Mans.

The full list of 60 expected entries for the race will be confirmed on Feb. 2, alongside the full-season entry lists for the WEC and ELMS.
