Biography

Nick Tandy returns to the Porsche Penske Motorsport lineup for the 2025 IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship, sharing the No. 7 with co-driver Felipe Nasr this season. With 23 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.

In 2013, Tandy joined the circle of Porsche works drivers. He began to produce immediate success in long-distance events as he won Petit Le Mans that season in a 911 GT3 RSR. Tandy then posted a class victory in a 911 RSR in 2014 at the 24 Hours at Daytona.

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. He added a third career win at the 12 Hours of Sebring in 2020 and at the 24 Hours of Spa later that season.

In 2021, Tandy posted four IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship victories and in 2022, he finished sixth in the WEC LMGTE Pro standings, highlighted by a win in the Six Hours of Monza.

After two seasons competing with Corvette Racing in both WEC and IMSA, Tandy returned as a Porsche works driver last season.

In 2023, Tandy showed consistent speed throughout the IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Series season. Tandy and Jaminet scored PPM's first podium at the 12 Hours of Sebring in March and then followed it up with the maiden victory of the Porsche 963 at Long Beach and a runner-up finish at Laguna Seca, to cap off a stretch of three consecutive podium finishes. Tandy also dominated IMSA's return to the Indianapolis Motor Speedway as PPM scored a convincing 1-2 finish. Tandy wound up finishing fifth in the driver's championship at seasons end. He also competed in a third PPM entry at the 24 Hours of Le Mans with Jaminet and Felipe Nasr.

In 2024, Tandy captured Team Penske’s 100th sportscar win and Porsche’s 600th IMSA victory at Laguna Seca, with another thrilling triumph at Road America.  As a result, Tandy secured second place in the IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship in both the driver's and team categories, also landing third in the IMSA Michelin Endurance Cup. This five-race championship encompasses key endurance events within the IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship calendar, adding another prestigious achievement to his season.

He also competed in a third entry in the 24 Hours of Le Mans with Jaminet and Nasr during his first two years with the Porsche Penske Motorsport Program.

Tandy, his wife and two children reside in Bedford, Great Britain where he spends his spare time helping his son who has just started karting and running Carrera Cup GB team JTR.
