Ben Keating and Jonny Edgar have been confirmed as part of TF Sport’s otherwise unchanged Corvette LMGT3 lineup in the FIA World Endurance Championship.

The two drivers will share the No. 33 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 GT3.R with the previously confirmed Daniel Juncadella, while the sister No. 81 machine is set to be driven by the returning trio of Tom van Rompuy, Rui Andrade and Charlie Eastwood.

Keating had long been linked to a return to full-time WEC competition with the Tom Ferrier-led stable, having previously taken both a 24 Hours of Le Mans class win and a GTE-Am title with the team.

The Texan returns to WEC after a one-year absence, capturing a second world title in 2023 with Corvette Racing.

He will also form part of Trackhouse by TF Sport’s GTD Pro lineup in next month’s Rolex 24 at Daytona.

“I am so excited to be back in the FIA World Endurance Championship family,” Keating said.

“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, meanwhile, joins TF’s LMGT3 squad having captured the LMP2 title in the European Le Mans Series earlier this year.

The British racer is understood to have come out on top in Silver driver shoot-out test that included a half-dozen candidates.

“I am very grateful for the opportunity to race in the FIA World Endurance Championship with TF Sport in the Corvette Z06 GT3.R, with Ben and Dani as teammates,” said Edgar.

“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.

“I can’t wait to start the season in Qatar!”.
