Tandy’s C8.R was sitting second, just four seconds behind the #52 Ferrari 488 of Antonio Fuoco/Miguel Molina, with 40 minutes to go when he backed off to try and reach the checkered flag.
But with two laps to go, Fuoco pitted from the lead for a splash of fuel, allowing Corvette to score its first WEC triumph since conquering the 2015 Le Mans 24 Hours by 19.4s.
