Racing Team Nederland

The team started in the 2017 European Le Mans Series with a Dallara P217 from Day V TEC Engineering ending the season on 11th place in LMP2 with 12.5 points.[1] During the Le Mans race that year the third driver was former F1 driver Rubens Barrichello. Jan and Rubens know each other from when Rubens tested a Formula Opel Lotus from Jan years ago.[6][7] In 2017 they have finished Le Mans 13th overall (11th in the class).[8]

For the WEC Superseason Racing Team Nederland has added ex-Formula 1 driver Guido van der Garde as their new driver.[11] After the 2018 race of the 24 Hours of Le Mans, Jan Lammers has stepped down as an active driver for Racing Team Nederland. Formula 2 driver Nyck de Vries has taken over the seat from Lammers for the rest of the season.[12]

They entered the 2019–20 FIA World Endurance Championship with a new team and a new car. They were operated by TDS Racing and entered an Oreca 07.[18][19][20] In the first race with their new car they finished 3rd in the 2019 4 Hours of Silverstone, which was their first podium.[21][22] They continued their good form in the next race with their first victory, in the 2019 6 Hours of Fuji, in what was described as 'LMP2 thriller' by media.[23]

In December 2021, Racing Team Nederland announced that they would be switching their focus to racing in North America, to take on the full Michelin Endurance Cup schedule in LMP2 as part of the 2022 IMSA SportsCar Championship.[24][25]
