Sharing United's #23 ORECA 07 with di Resta and Jarvis, WEC rookie Pierson established a new series record by taking honours in the LMP2 class having only celebrated his 16th birthday last month.
Pierson impressed by completing a triple-stint in the opening half of the race, after taking over from starting driver di Resta (standing in for Alex Lynn, who was unavailable due to his commitments with Chip Ganassi Racing in this weekend's Sebring 12 Hours IMSA SportsCar Championship round).
