24h Le Mans
Add experience to impetus, and what do you get? Nico Müller is to join the Inter Europol Competition LMP2 team for the 94th 24 Hours of Le Mans on 10-14 June 2026. The recruitment is a new asset for the team, already a two-time class winner.
A 24 Hours of Le Mans team is always a complex web of relations, held together by an invisible thread. It is this alchemy that turns three drivers into one crew, with a single aim: the finish line. This year, Inter Europol Competition has added Nico Müller to the mix. He will be sharing the #343 Oreca 07-Gibson with Bijoy Garg and Reshad De Gerus. The line-up has “we’re out to win LMP2” written all over it!
Every detail counts in a discipline as demanding as endurance racing. A reassuring voice on the team can change the whole tone of a race. Nico Müller knows Le Mans. A Porsche factory driver in Formula E, he has driven the Peugeot Hypercar and has the precious experience of long nights, and the crucial split-second decisions that can turn the tables.
“I’m super excited to be joining Inter Europol Competition [...] The 24 Hours of Le Mans is always very high on every driver’s list,” he says. A simple statement that suggests the attraction of Le Mans – the pull that makes you want to come back every year. Müller isn’t coming along for the ride. He’s coming to play a role, to do battle.
At his side, Bijoy Garg and Reshad De Gerus already form a solid pair in the European Le Mans Series. Their mutual understanding forms a sturdy foundation to build on. "Teaming up with Bijoy, the winner of the 2024 edition, and Nico, who will be a major asset thanks to his experience as a works driver in Hypercar, makes us a strong line-up," says Reshad De Gerus. The words of a calmly confident crew-member who knows what to expect.
Fraternity is the watchword at Inter Europol Competition: the #343 has a sister, the #43, last year’s class winner, again in the hands of Nick Yelloly, Tom Dillmann and Kuba Śmiechowski. There’s no harm in continuity!
Team Principal Sascha Fassbender’s message is crystal clear: “Adding Nico for Le Mans gives us a very strong line-up and the possibility to have two competitive cars, both able to fight for the win.” At Le Mans, being quick is not enough. You need to be sharp, patient and stick your neck out on occasions. Two cars on the grid doubles the chances of reading the race with a clear head.
When the race starts at 16:00 on 13 June, Inter Europol Competition will be out to win again.
At home, or trackside, we’ll be watching. Because at Le Mans, every team effort is a reminder that alone, you go fast; together you go far.
