Nick Tandy
Works drivers
Nick’s career began in 1996 with short oval stock cars and led the amateur golfer and mountain biker into Formula 3 by way of the Formula Ford. In a guest stint in the Porsche Carrera Cup Great Britain in 2008, he managed to secure his first win in his first race. In 2011, he took the title in the Porsche Carrera Cup Germany. In 2012, he won the prestigious Porsche Cup as the most successful driver worldwide in a 911. In 2013, he secured third place in the Sebring Classic 12 Hour, this time as a works driver in the 911 RSR. After this he won the GT class in the European Le Mans Series race in Budapest, and celebrated another big success with a GT victory in the Petit Le Mans on the challenging traditional track Road Atlanta. The next highlight in the 911 RSR was a class victory in the 24 Hours of Daytona in 2014. When Porsche gave some of their GT drivers the opportunity to test the 919, he gave a convincing performance and won himself a place in what was then the third car in the line-up for Le Mans. Spurred on by a magnificent victory on the Sarthe, in 2015 he managed yet another spectacular achievement: In the most adverse weather conditions, competing in the 911 RSR against stronger prototypes, he took the first overall victory for Porsche in the Petit Le Mans. On Tandy’s calendar for 2018 is the
IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship and the long-distance classics in Daytona, Le Mans and the Nürburgring. At the 2018 Nürburgring 24-hour race, he clinched overall victory with Patrick Pilet and Frédéric Makowiecki.
