In 2012, Montecalvo took part in his first 24 Hours of Le Mans, driving for Luxury Racing in the GTE Am class.[3] The team started fourth in class[4] but failed to finish the race, retiring with crash damage after 146 laps.[citation needed] Montecalvo returned to Le Mans in 2014, replacing Enzo Potolicchio in the 8 Star Motorsports GTE Am entry.[5][6] In 2015, Montecalvo won the GTA class of the Pirelli World Challenge.[7]

As of August 2023, Montecalvo is not a professional racing driver, working a day job at his family's recycling business.[12][13]
