Nick Tandy returns to the No. 6 Porsche Penske Motorsport (PPM) lineup for the 2024 IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship, alongside co-driver Mathieu Jaminet. With 21 sports car victories in the U.S. since 2012, Tandy has consistently proven he knows his way to Victory Lane.
Tandy began his partnership with Porsche in 2011 when he claimed the Porsche Carrera Cup title in Germany. In 2012, he won the prestigious Porsche Cup as the most successful driver worldwide competing in a 911.

When Porsche provided the opportunity for some of its GT drivers to test the 919 race car, Tandy turned in a convincing performance. He helped Porsche earn the overall victory in the 2015 24 Hours of Le Mans racing the 919 hybrid. Following the impressive performance in France, Tandy produced another significant endurance victory. In adverse weather conditions and up against stronger prototypes, he scored the first overall victory for Porsche at the 2015 Petit Le Mans in the 911 RSR.
After winning the IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship race at Long Beach in 2016, Tandy enjoyed several more successful endurance racing wins in 2018 with victories at Sebring, the Nürburgring and Road Atlanta.
