Canal, a P2 titlist with OAK Racing in 2015 and also a former GTE Am champ (with Larbre Competition in 2012) will share the other car with Bruno Senna and Nicolas Prost.


"I couldn't wish for a better team to begin my fifth full season in the FIA WEC and my sixth crack at the 24 Hours of Le Mans," said Heinemeier Hansson. "The competition is tougher than ever in LMP2, the cars are more exciting than ever, and together we will be ready as a team."
