Nielsen Racing: Our Story

Now in its twelfth year of competition, Nielsen Racing enters the 2026 season marking a decade of participation in Le Mans Endurance Management (LMEM) and ACO competition. Building on a strong foundation of success, the team continues to expand its presence at the highest level of endurance racing with a two-car LMP2 programme, alongside the addition of two new-generation Duqueine D09 LMP3 entries for the Michelin Le Mans Cup. Nielsen Racing made its debut at the 24 Hours of Le Mans in 2020 before stepping up to full-time LMP2 competition in 2022, where the team celebrated a podium finish in only its second appearance at the event. A second LMP2 entry was introduced at the end of 2023, further strengthening the team’s competitiveness. In 2026, Nielsen Racing returns to Le Mans for the fifth consecutive year and its sixth participation overall.
