🗣️'Effectively we were out of the championship after round three.' NickTandyR says CorvetteRacing's 2022 FIAWEC campaign could have been very different without being taken out by an errant LMP2 car at Le Mans ⬇️

The General Motors-owned brand entered the full WEC season for the first time this year in the moribund GTE Pro division, going up against European rivals Ferrari and Porsche with a single Corvette C8.R shared by factory drivers Tandy and Tommy Milner.outgunned its rivals on fuel efficiency in the fourth round at Monza

The resulting retirement for Corvette elevated eventual GTE Pro champions Alessandro Pier Guidi and James Calado to second behind the race-winning Porsche, resulting in a 56-point swing between the two crews in the title fight. “The problem with having a six-round championship with double points at one round [is that] effectively we were out of the championship after round three.

“With those two situations being opposite, we would be quite comfortably leading the world championship, looking to come [to Bahrain] to win the championship. But looking back at it, it's been a really good season.” She hopes the lessons Corvette learned this year will benefit it in 2023, when it will compete in GTE Am with Nicky Catsburg, Ben Keating and a yet-to-be-named third driver.
