Corvette Racing Goes the Distance to Shock Ferrari, Win WEC 6 Hours of Monza

Corvette Racing made its maiden World Endurance Championship race at Monza a successful one, as Tommy Milner and Nick Tandy scored a fuel-saving victory in the Six Hours of Monza on Sunday.

The No. 64 Mobil 1/SiriusXM Chevrolet Corvette C8.R completed 181 laps to win the LMGTE Pro class. The No. 52 AF Corse Ferrari 488 of Miguel Molina and Antonio Fuoco finished second, 19.412 seconds back. The No. 51 AF Corse Ferrari 488 of Alessandro Pier Guidi and James Calado completed the podium.

Tandy put Corvette Racing on the front row in qualifying on Saturday and brought the car across the finish line on Sunday.

"With two laps to go, I saw a red car coming in and didn't know which one," Tandy said after the win. "I asked if it was the 52 and the team said it was. Like Tommy said, we basically gave up with about 30 minutes to go because we had to hit a stupid fuel number to make it. But we did."
