That same season Montecalvo became a participant in the Cooper Tire Prototype Lites Series. By the 4th race, he took first place at Miller Motorsports Park in Utah.

In 2011, he stepped up to the top level in ALMS and promptly recorded a second place at the Sebring 12 Hours. Driving for CORE Autosport, Montecalvo also claimed second place in the driver championship for LMPC class and his team won the championship. Broadening his horizons, Montecalvo & Jeannette teamed up for a WEC campaign in a Ferrari 458 in 2012. Montecalvo made his debut at the prestigious 24 hours of Le Mans in France. In 2013, Montecalvo teamed up with Jeannette in the #51 RAM Racing Ferrari 458 in the GTE-AM class in the European Le Mans Series. Montecalvo and Jeannette visited the podium four times during the ELMS season and tied for third in the driver championship.

2014 saw the boys coming back home to America with a ride in the #52 PR1 Motorsports PC machine in the Tudor United Sports Car Championship. Montecalvo and Jeannette visited the podium several times in 2014 and finished the season with a third place finish at the prestigious Petit Le Mans. Montecalvo also made his second appearance at the 24 Hours of Le Mans in 2014 in a Ferrari 458 with 8-Star Racing finishing 4th and was the highest American entry in class.
