SAVAGE, Minn. (September 8, 2025) — JDC-Miller MotorSports is pleased to announce the return of Swiss Formula E driver Nico Müller to its driver lineup for the remaining two races of the season. Müller will join Tijmen van der Helm in piloting the No. 85 Porsche 963 for the Battle on the Bricks at Indianapolis and Petit Le Mans at Road Atlanta.
Müller competed for JDC-Miller MotorSports earlier this year at the Twelve Hours of Sebring, where the team had a strong performance until experiencing a brake issue late in the race, bringing the car home in 8th overall.
Since Sebring, Müller has gained additional Porsche 963 seat-time by competing in the 6 Hours of Spa-Francorchamps and testing as the reserve driver for the Porsche 24 Hours of Le Mans campaign.

“I’m really pleased to have Nico back with us to wrap-up the season. He was a great fit with the team when he was with us at Sebring. Got up to speed with the 963 very quickly, which is not an easy thing to do. We think he will give us that little bit of extra pace we are looking for. We finished this race 3rd last year, so our goal is to move up a step or two.”

“It’s great to have Nico back with us for the Indy and Petit. I very much enjoyed driving with him at Sebring. A great addition to the team.”

“I am very excited to be back with JDC-Miller MotorSports after our race together earlier this season at Sebring. We demonstrated good pace and great potential during the 12-Hour event. I’m looking forward to building on that performance straight away.
Hopefully, I can help the team make further progress in the two races at Indianapolis and Road Atlanta. I’m really excited to compete in these endurance races with this amazing team. I’m familiar with Indianapolis because, in 2021, I took part in an 8-hour GT3 race there. I haven’t raced at Road Atlanta yet, so I’m eager to get my first experience on that fantastic track. Petit Le Mans is on every driver’s bucket list, so I’m truly excited about this opportunity. We’re going to give it our best effort to achieve some good results for JDC-Miller MotorSports.”
