DAYTONA BEACH, Florida --- Porsche factory drivers Earl Bamber and Nick Tandy have been linked together since 2015. They made up two-thirds of the driver lineup for the No. 19 Porsche 919 Hybrid at the 24 Hours of Le Mans, which they won alongside F1 racer Nico Hulkenberg. They spent most of the remainder of that 2015 season, and all of 2016, participating in the GT Le Mans (GTLM) class of the IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship, with Tandy helping co-driver Patrick Pilet win the GTLM driver championship in 2015. Last year, both were selected to drive in the FIA World Endurance Championship (WEC) LMP1 class for the full season, which netted a second overall Le Mans victory for Bamber. However, when news broke last summer of Porsche’s plans to discontinue its LMP1 program following the 2017 season, both drivers knew exactly where they wanted to spend 2018. “Once we knew that the LMP1 program was stopping, then my immediate request was to come back here and race in the IMSA championship,” Bamber said. “In 2015 and ’16, it was awesome times and great memories. I really love the tracks and the race series, so it made obvious sense to come back here.” “I’m really happy to be back,” adds Tandy. “It was a time of year last year that I really missed being in Daytona racing. I got a few other jobs for Porsche, but I really missed the time here in January. It’s great to be back. I’m looking forward to getting stuck into racing again. It’s been a long winter.” As he was for all but two races in 2015 and all of 2016, Tandy will again be...
