TDS Racing has announced its driver line-up for the 2026 IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship, anchored by a new full-time crew with Tobias Lütke, Mathias Beche, and David Heinemeier Hansson. Longtime friends and business associates Lütke and Heinemeier 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 Heinemeier Hansson and Oliver Jarvis. Lütke's company Shopify has also joined TDS as a primary sponsor of the No. 11 ORECA 07-Gibson, as announced by the French team on Monday. Beche drove for TDS 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.
