TDS Racing Strengthens IMSA Campaign with Bold Two-Car LMP2 Return
Highlights
- TDS Racing returns with two-car LMP2 lineup after three years
- #11 car drivers: Tobi Lutke, Mathias Beche; #29 car: Stephen Thomas, Scott Huffaker
- Sami Meguetounif and David Heinemeier Hansson join for endurance races
- TDS won back-to-back Michelin Endurance Cup titles in 2024-2025
- Team marks 40th IMSA start at Motul Petit Le Mans
- TDS confirmed first team in IMSA LMP2 for 2027 season
TDS Racing returns to the IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship in 2027 with a two-car LMP2 program, its first since 2024. Team principal Xavier Combet fields two Oreca 07 Gibson entries.
#11 pairs Tobi Lutke with Mathias Beche, continuing an established combination. Stephen Thomas reunites with the squad and shares the #29 with Scott Huffaker, adding depth and familiarity between cars.
Endurance reinforcements arrive through Sami Meguetounif in the #11 and David Heinemeier Hansson in the #29. ELMS Pro/Am collaboration with Thomas and Huffaker produced contention and a Silverstone class win.
First confirmed IMSA LMP2 team for 2027 signals early intent and stability.
The target is straightforward: convert continuity into wins and points in a tightly balanced LMP2 field. Spec Oreca hardware compresses margins, so execution, pit discipline, and traffic management decide outcomes.
TDS strengthens an IMSA presence built since committing to full-season racing in 2023. The program reaches a milestone at Motul Petit Le Mans, which marks the team’s 40th IMSA start.
Recent form underpins the expansion. Thomas, Mikkel Jensen, and Hunter McElrea delivered consecutive wins at Indianapolis and Petit Le Mans across 2024 and 2025, securing back-to-back Michelin Endurance Cup titles.
Back-to-back Michelin Endurance Cup titles underline TDS Racing’s endurance pedigree.
For 2027, TDS becomes the first confirmed entrant in IMSA’s LMP2 class. Early commitment stabilizes planning, driver availability, and testing windows ahead of the endurance-intensive calendar.
Combet frames the move as ambition matched to continuity. Retaining Tobi, David, and Mathias while reinstating Stephen and Scott, and introducing Meguetounif, gives the group cohesion and clear role definition.
The announcement joins wider 2027 movements, with manufacturer signings shaping parallel programs in WEC. Those dynamics, including Cadillac’s 2027 WEC signings, illustrate a competitive talent market across both series.
Team reaches 40 IMSA starts at Motul Petit Le Mans.
