How Tandy joined an exclusive club of endurance legends

Victory at last year's Spa 24 Hours meant Nick Tandy had completed the unofficial sextuple crown of the world's six biggest endurance races, becoming the first Briton to do so. Ahead of his fresh start with Corvette Racing, he explains how he did it

When Nick Tandy joined the Porsche factory roster back in 2013, he had a dream - to claim a win in one of the big enduros for his new employer. After eight seasons with the German manufacturer, and as he sets out on a new chapter of his career with Corvette Racing, he now has a complete set with his triumph in the Spa 24 Hours last October.

That win gave him a full house of victories - overall or class - in the four 24-hour sportscar classics at Le Mans, Daytona, the Nurburgring and Spa. But Tandy has also completed the unofficial triple crown of endurance at Le Mans, Daytona and Sebring, and the quadruple crown if you add the Petit Le Mans enduro at Road Atlanta to that list. That surely makes him a holder of the sextuple crown.
