TF SPORT SET FOR HISTORIC 10TH START AT THE 24 HOURS OF LE MANS
For TF Sport, the 2026 Le Mans 24 Hours will be one to remember for years to come. The 94th edition of the world’s most prestigious endurance race will mark the team’s tenth appearance at the 24 Hours of Le Mans.
TF Sport has collected numerous successes and memorable moments across the nine previous editions and has savoured the taste of champagne on no fewer than eight occasions:
• Three victories - 2020 and 2022 in the LMGTE Am class and in 2025 in the LMP2 Pro/Am class
• Three second-place finishes - 2021 and 2023 in LMGTE Am and in 2024 in the LMP2 Pro/Am class
• Two third-place finishes - 2025 in the LMGT3 class and in LMP2
Such a special occasion naturally called for something special: not one, not two but three Corvette Z06 GT3.Rs will race in northern France in the LMGT3 class, with a brand-new, powerful Oreca 07 LMP2 completing the team’s lineup.
In the LMGT3 class, the two Corvettes competing in the full FIA World Endurance Championship season will be joined by a third sister car: the #2 Z06 GT3.R, which will roar into the 24 Hours of Le Mans thanks to its class victory in the 2025 European Le Mans Series.
At the wheel of the #33 Corvette will be Jonny Edgar, Nicky Catsburg and Ben Keating. The latter and American driver, who missed the first two WEC races due to an early-season injury, will rejoin his teammates in the yellow Vette to fight for glory and victory at Circuit de la Sarthe. Behind the wheel of the #34 Racing Team Turkey by TF Corvette will be Peter Dempsey, Salih Yoluç and Charlie Eastwood, the same lineup that the FIA WEC fans have come to know from the first two rounds of the season. Alongside the #33 and #34 cars will be the third Z06 GT3.R of three fast and skilled drivers: HH Prince Jefri Ibrahim (MAS), Lorcan Hanafin (MAS) and Ben Green (GBR). The Malayisian and the two Britons form an all-new lineup, ready to battle in an LMGT3 class with 25 cars.
The team will continue to fly also in the LMP2 Pro/Am class, no longer with Spike the Dragon but with the latest addition to the successful AO by TF family. It will be Rockie the Pegasus spreading its wings over the Circuit de la Sarthe, wearing the #99 on its side and boasting a strong and solid line up formed by PJ Hyett, Dane Cameron and James Allen. The Australian will join its two teammates, replacing Louis Delétraz at the wheel of the #99 Oreca 07, with the three talented and skilled drivers keen to defend the victory they secured in the LMP2 Pro/Am class during the 24 Hours of Le Mans 2025.
