TF Sport and Corvette Racing join forces for FIA WEC in 2024
Hugely-successful LMGTE Am teams TF Sport and Corvette Racing will join forces to compete in the 2024 FIA World Endurance Championship with a pair of Chevrolet Corvette Z06 GT3.Rs.
TF Sport will support Corvette Racing from 2024, parting ways with Aston Martin Racing after six years of great collaboration with the British brand. Being the only team to achieve four consecutive top-two finishes in the LMGTE AM class in the 24 Hours of Le Mans, TF Sport intends to continue its streak of success alongside a brand whose cars have triumphed nine times at the 24 Hours of Le Mans , four at the Rolex 24 At Daytona (including the 2021 race) and 12 at the Mobil 1 Twelve Hours of Sebring.
Unveiled in early 2023 and set to make its official debut at the Rolex 24 at Daytona 2024, the new Corvette Z06 GT3.R embodies the competitive and ambitious spirit that Corvette Racing has built over 25 years of racing.
Christie Bagne, Corvette Z06 GT3.R Program Manager : “We are excited to welcome TF Sport to the Corvette Racing family. Tom Ferrier and his organization showcase the elements we were looking for in a team to run our Corvette Z06 GT3.R in the FIA WEC - a first-class operation, strong collaboration and a history of success. We look forward to working with Tom and his team to make the Z06 GT3.R a success in the WEC and at the 24 Hours of Le Mans in 2024 and beyond.”
Tom Ferrier, TF Sport Director: “I am thrilled to have the opportunity to represent such an iconic brand on the world stage. Corvette Racing has an immense history at Le Mans and we will be looking to continue that run of success. I'd like to thank everyone at Aston Martin Racing for the support and success we have had over the past six years and seven Le Mans but now I feel the time is right for a new challenge in the WEC. We still have a job to do in this year's WEC now lying second in the championship and will give it our all to finish on a high.”
