TDS Racing has officially announced its return to the IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar championship, competing with two LMP2 vehicles for the first time in three years. The French team, headed by Xavier Combet, aims for the highest honors in one of the most competitive categories in motorsport.
The number 11 vehicle of TDS Racing will feature the return of Tobi Lutke and Mathias Beche, while Stephen Thomas rejoins the team after a stint in the European Le Mans Series (ELMS), where he will compete with Scott Huffaker in the number 29 vehicle.
To tackle the long races of the Michelin Endurance Cup, the team has added Sami Meguetounif to the lineup of the number 11 vehicle, who will make his debut in IMSA. Additionally, veteran David Heinemeier Hansson will join the number 29 vehicle, bringing experience to the group.
The driver combinations bring a proven chemistry to the team. Thomas, Meguetounif, and Huffaker recently competed together in the ELMS, where they were title contenders and achieved a class victory at Silverstone.
TDS Racing has established itself as a solid presence in the paddock, with its first full season in IMSA starting in 2023. Moreover, they recently marked their 40th participation in the Motul Petit Le Mans, with Thomas standing out alongside Mikkel Jensen and Hunter McElrea, winning two consecutive races in Indianapolis and Petit Le Mans, as well as two titles in the Michelin Endurance Cup.
Combet has shared his excitement for the new phase of the team for 2027, highlighting the ambition to become a top-tier competitor with the inclusion of all drivers, including Meguetounif, who will make his IMSA debut. The goals are clear: to keep advancing, fight for victories, and compete for championships.
