Two LMP2 teams have announced their driver line-ups for the 2026 IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship, following Intersport Racing’s announcement earlier today.

TDS Racing’s #11 ORECA 07-Gibson will anchored by a new full-time crew with Tobias Lütke, Mathias Beche, and David Heinemeier Hansson.

Longtime friends and business associates Lütke and Hansson come over after racing together last season at Era Motorsport. It was Lütke’s first season of LMP2 racing, which ended with a third-place podium finish at Petit Le Mans alongside Hansson and Oliver Jarvis. Lütke’s company Shopify has also joined TDS as a primary sponsor of French team.

Beche drove for TDS Racing in last year’s European Le Mans Series, finishing third in the LMP2 Championship with a win in the season-ending 4 Hours of Portimão. He also ran three races in IMSA last year with PR1 Mathiasen Motorsports, with a best finish of third at the Rolex 24 At Daytona.

Completing the team’s line-up at Daytona is Charles Milesi, the Alpine Endurance Team factory driver, who is the only returning member of TDS Racing’s 2025 Daytona crew. Milesi is a previous class winner at the Le Mans 24 Hours, and led Alpine to its first Hypercar win at the WEC 6 Hours of Fuji in September.

Former TDS Racing driver Steven Thomas announced he would be stepping away from IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship competition after his victory at Petit Le Mans, as well as Mikkel Jensen, who also announced his decision to leave the Peugeot Sport WEC team after 2025.

Regarding the rotation of its three announced full-time drivers, IMSA has stated that “Lütke is anticipated to run the full 2026 season, with either Hansson or Beche as the primary co-driver alongside depending on schedules.”

At Pratt Miller Motorsports, Chris Cumming and Pietro Fittipaldi will return for their second full season as drivers of the #73 ORECA, which took a best finish of sixth at Canadian Tire Motorsport Park (formerly Mosport).

Pietro will get the chance to race alongside his younger brother Enzo Fittipaldi at the Rolex 24 At Daytona. Enzo got his first taste of LMP2 racing in last year’s European Le Mans Series, where he scored his first podium at Circuit Paul Ricard for CLX Motorsport.

Manuel Espirito Santo, Enzo’s co-driver at CLX last season, will join Pratt Miller as the ‘designated Silver’ driver in the five Michelin Endurance Cup races. He made a one-off appearance for Pratt Miller at the Sahlen’s Six Hours of the Glen, his first IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship race.

2025 marked Pratt Miller Motorsports’ return to prototype racing for the first time since its involvement with the Chevrolet Corvette Daytona Prototype programme more than a decade ago.
