When Nick Tandy clinched Porsche’s 17th overall victory at the long distance classic in 2015, he fulfilled his greatest dream as a racing driver. But the reserved Briton also has a passionate side, which he reveals on the racetrack as demonstrated by his wins at Petit Le Mans (2013) and the 24 Hours of Daytona (2014). These were two important victories in a career that began in 1996 with Oval Stock Cars before leading, via Formula Ford and Formula 3, to the Porsche Carrera Cup Deutschland, where he clinched the title in 2011. In 2012 he was awarded the prestigious Porsche Cup as the most successful private driver in the 911. In 2013, the ambitious hobby golfer and mountain biker received a Porsche contract as a works driver.
Nick Tandy contests the IMSA Sports Car Championship with the Porsche 911 RSR run by the Porsche North America team as well as 24 Hours of Le Mans for the Porsche Manthey team. At the Nürburgring 24-hour race he drives a Porsche 911 GT3 R.
