Performance Tech Motorsports has confirmed Rasmus Lindh and Dan Goldburg its full season drivers for the IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship season in LMP3.

The pairing will be embarking on their second full season in the class with the Florida-based team, which will again field a Ligier JS P320 Nissan in all LMP3 points-paying rounds beginning with next weekend’s Mobil 1 Twelve Hours of Sebring.

Performance Tech kicked off its program at January’s Rolex 24 at Daytona — which does not count towards the season-long championship — with Goldburg part of the lineup but Lindh allocated to Andretti Autosport for the race.

“It’s great to have Rasmus and Dan together for the rest of the season,” said team principal Brent O’Neill.

“When Rasmus first drove with us three years ago there was no doubt in my mind that he was fast and would complement Dan, who was already super quick and comfortable in the Ligier.

“He and Dan had immediate chemistry which we really saw amplified at the end of 2021. They’ll be quick together and with a little luck will be able to grab wins that just barely evaded them last season.”

Lindh added: “I want to thank the whole O’Neill family, Performance Tech and of course my friend and co-driver Dan Goldburg for continued confidence.

“I look forward to the season starting, I will do everything I can to win the championship. We had a lot of success last year, and we are going to continue with that. Our goal is to win Sebring and continue to be on the top of the podium.”

“We’re back and we’re going for it,” Goldburg said. “I learned a lot last year about managing a WeatherTech race, when to be patient and when to go all out, and made significant improvements in my driving.

“Trying to keep up with Rasmus and learning from his data and coaching has made me a much better driver, and we’re very comfortable as a driver combo and team.

“We’re in a good spot and ready to kick off the main season at our home track, Sebring. With how many years and laps I have around Sebring, I told the guys I can ‘drive it with my eyes closed’ and I was able to experience it in the dark recently which will come in handy.”
