Ineichen began his professional racing career in 2009, competing in a one-off event for ARAXA Racing in the Porsche Carrera Cup Germany. After a three year hiatus, he returned to compete with Stadler Motorsport at the Dubai 24 Hour, finishing sixth overall.[3]

The following year, Ineichen began competing full time for the first time in his career, driving for Konrad Motorsport in the exclusively-Amateur B Class of the Porsche Carrera Cup Germany. In his inaugural full-time year of competition, Ineichen scored the class championship, winning eight of 17 races.[4] In 2014, Ineichen won the class title for the second consecutive season,[5] adding a class victory with Stadler Motorsport at the 2014 Dubai 24 Hour to his resume that same year.[6] For the third consecutive season, in 2015, Ineichen claimed the Porsche Carrera Cup Germany B-Class title.[7]

In 2016, Ineichen joined Grasser Racing Team for the ADAC GT Masters and Blancpain Endurance Series seasons.[8] He would tally one victory in his opening season in the Blancpain series, taking victory at the Nürburgring with co-driver Mirko Bortolotti.[9]

In 2018, Ineichen was part of the Grasser Racing Team entry that won the GTD class at the 24 Hours of Daytona.[10] The following season, Ineichen claimed his second class victory in as many seasons at Daytona, also taking class honors at the 12 Hours of Sebring.[11]
