Allen would stay on with Graff in 2018, driving the (now G-Drive branded) #40 entry to a 12th-place finish.
Allen would switch teams in ELMS 2019 to join DragonSpeed alongside Henrik Hedman, Ben Hanley and Renger van der Zande in the #21 entry. The team drove the Oreca 07 to a 5th-place finish.
Allen would return to Graff for the 2020 season, racing the #39 entry alongise Alexandre Cougnaud and Thomas Laurent. The team took 5th place in the championship.[2]
Allen would change teams once again in 2021, joining Panis Racing alongside Julien Canal and Will Stevens.[3] After testing positive for COVID-19 prior to round 1 at Barcelona, Allen was replaced by Gabriel Aubry,[4] but would return in time for round 2. The team would finish 3rd in the championship, with Allen finishing 6th in the drivers championship.
Allen made his FIA World Endurance Championship debut in 2018 for DragonSpeed at the 6 hours of Fuji.[5]
