Mike Halder (born 2 May 1996) is a German racing driver currently competing for ALM Motorsport in TCR Europe.
Halder is the brother of fellow racing driver Michelle Halder.
Halder began karting at the age of five, competing until 2013. During his karting career, Halder won the 2013 IAME International Final in the X30 Class, and was also runner-up in the KZ2 class of the ADAC Kart Bundesendlauf that same year.
Stepping up to cars in 2014, Halder spent two years in Porsche Carrera Cup Germany before switching to Touring cars for 2016 as he joined Wolf-Power Racing to race in the inaugural season of the ADAC TCR Germany Touring Car Championship. In his first season in the series, Halder scored three podiums, with two of those being second-place finishes en route to a sixth-place points finish at the end of the year.
The following year, Halder remained in the series, albeit switching to Wolf-Power Racing for his sophomore season. After taking his first podiums of the year at the Red Bull Ring by finishing second and third in the two races, Halder then took his maiden series pole at the Nürburgring before finishing second in race one. In the final two rounds of the season at Sachsenring and Hockenheimring, Halder finished on the podium in all but one race to secure runner-up honors in the championship.
Switching to Honda ADAC Sachsen for 2018, Halder took his maiden win in TCR competition in the season-opening round at Oschersleben. Following this, Halder took two more wins at Nürburgring and at the Hockenheimring, which helped him end the year fourth in points. During 2018, Halder also made a one-off appearance in TCR Europe for KCMG at Barcelona, in which he won race two.
Remaining with Honda ADAC Sachsen for 2019, Halder won at Oschersleben and Most to take an early championship lead. However, in the final five rounds of the season, Halder only scored four podiums as he ended the year fourth in points. Halder returned to the series for 2020, but left the series with immediate effect after being disqualified from race one at the Nürburgring. Switching to TCR Europe and Halder Motorsport for the rest of the season, Halder won at Le Castellet and Barcelona as he secured fourth in points.
After winning both the TCR Spain and TCR Iberico titles in 2021, Halder remained with his family-owned team to race in TCR Europe and joined TPR Motorsport to compete in TCR Denmark. In the former, Halder took a lone win at the Norisring and ended the year on his way to eighth in points despite missing the round at the Nürburgring to focus on TCR Denmark. In the latter, Halder took his first series wins at Jyllandsringen, before taking further wins at Copenhagen and at the final two Jyllandsringen rounds to finish runner-up in points, missing the title by 11.
Staying with TPR Motorsport to focus on TCR Denmark for 2023, finished in the top five in all six races of the first two rounds before taking his first win of the season at Falkenbergs Motorbana in race two. Halder then scored one win in each of the final three rounds of the season at Jyllandsringen and Padborg Park to once again finish second in points, this time 28 away from Kasper Jensen.
Halder remained with TPR Motorsport for his third season in TCR Denmark, taking five wins but losing out to the title after colliding with Jensen in the penultimate race of the season and ended the year 37 points adrift from the Dane. During 2024, Halder also made a one-off appearance in TCR Spain at Barcelona for the same team, in which he dominated the weekend by winning both races.
The following year, Halder competed in both TCR Denmark and TCR Spain on a full-time basis. In Denmark, Halder won the season opening round at Padborg Park, before then winning five races across the following three rounds, as he ended the year third in points after the team skipped the final round to race in the Spanish series. In TCR Spain, Halder won five races and stood on the podium in all but one race to secure his second TCR Spain title at the finale in Barcelona.
In 2026, Halder returned to TCR Europe with ALM Motorsport.
