Tijmen van der Helm is a professional sportscar driver racing for JDC-Miller MotorSports in the IMSA WeatherTech Championship, where he competes across the GTP, LMP2 and LMP3 classes in shared prototype machinery. Graded FIA Gold, the higher of the two full-professional endurance grades, he has raced continuously since 2020 across Formula Renault Eurocup, Formula 3, and multiclass endurance series including the European Le Mans Series and World Endurance Championship.[1]
His record spans 92 starts with a single win and seven podiums. In IMSA, his main series since 2022, he has taken one victory and five podiums across 35 starts in the prototype classes. His earlier campaign in European Le Mans and WEC in 2022 and 2023 yielded two podium finishes across ten endurance starts, racing LMP2 prototypes for Panis Racing. His single-seater career in 2020 and 2021 saw him race Formula Renault Eurocup and Formula 3 for FA Racing and MP Motorsport respectively, though that phase yielded no wins or podiums.[2]
In the company of established professionals, van der Helm typically finishes behind stronger regular opponents such as Lorenzo Colombo and five-time European Le Mans LMP2 champion Louis Deletraz. He has nonetheless beaten elite-level drivers in single races; he finished ahead of IndyCar champion Alex Palou twice and elite professional Franco Colapinto once in endurance competition.
