2011–present
In 2011, Gardemeister entered the Rallye Monte Carlo with an Astra Racing-run Peugeot 207 S2000, and finished in 10th place. After that, he bought himself a Škoda Fabia S2000 and launched his own team, TGS Worldwide OU; his main sponsors were Mad Croc and Hankook. He missed only two rounds, the SATA Rally Azores and the Cyprus Rally; on all the others, he finished inside the top ten, his season best 6th place coming in Barum Rally Zlín. He sometimes complained that the works Škodas had a technical advantage over the marque's privateer drivers, because of certain updates they couldn't get.[2] He finished the season 9th overall.
Gardemeister tried to put together the budget he needed to return to the IRC in 2012, but with Hankook leaving his team, his efforts were unsuccessful. He started to focus on renting out his Škoda, and entered some rally-raid events with various Mitsubishi cars, and achieved some good results. However, while competing on the Silk Way Rally, he suffered an accident which resulted in one twisted and two broken vertebrae. Gardemeister underwent a successful surgery to repair his back, and after a 9-month recovery, he is just as good as he was.
Now after his accident on 2012, Gardemeister has been running his TGS Worldwide company. TGS Worldwide has been concentrated to run mainly Skoda brand cars. First Fabia S2000 and after R5 models. There have been lot of young talents on the team on their early stages..such as a names as Teemu Suninen, Kalle Rovanperä, Juuso Nordgren, Eerik Pietarinen, Pontus Tidemand.
