Ben Keating and Jonny Edgar have joined TF Sport for the 2025 FIA World Endurance Championship season in the #33 Corvette Z06 LMGT3.R.
Keating took the last GTE Am championship title with Corvette Racing in 2023 along with the Le Mans 24 Hours victory.
After a one-off return at the 2024 Lone Star Le Mans, Keating has returned to the WEC full-time in Corvette machinery again – albeit of the LMGT3 kind.
He has driven numerous machinery during his years of racing and competed with TF Sport for the 2021 and 2022 WEC seasons, gaining his first Le Mans class win in the latter campaign.
Edgar has a preexisting relationship with TF Sport having driven in their European Le Mans Series LMP2 campaign, where they partnered with AO Racing.
The 20-year-old became the 2024 ELMS LMP2 champion with co-drivers Robert Kubica and Louis Deletraz, and so will make his WEC debut next year.
“I am so excited to be back in the FIA World Endurance Championship family,” said Keating who will co-drive with Edgar and Daniel Juncadella.
“I have missed all the people and places I have come to love.
“I am also thrilled to be back with TF Sport many of the same reasons.
“This will be a new car for me, but I am excited to race in the same Corvette that I sell at Keating Chevrolet.
“I am grateful to be able to come back.”
Edgar’s excitement for his WEC and Le Mans debuts
Edgar added: “… It is great to be racing with TF Sport again after the success we had together in the ELMS in 2024.
“Racing in the FIA World Endurance Championship and in the 24 Hours of Le Mans is an amazing opportunity for me and I am looking forward to my first GT3 racing season.
“My teammates are great too, with Ben having already won the 24 Hours of Le Mans and the FIA World Endurance Championship with Corvette and Dani having had a lot of success in GT3 racing; I’m sure I can learn a lot from both of them.”
In the other #81 entrant, the driver lineup has remained the same with factory drivers Charlie Eastwood and Rui Andrade joining Tom van Rumpuy.
The team consistently fought towards the top end of the LMGT3 class and have made numerous Hyperpole appearances during the 2024 WEC season.
Next year’s Qatar 1812 km on 28 February will mark the second campaign for the LMGT3 category and crucially, for the Z06 LMGT3.R.
