It will compete in the 2024 FIA World Endurance Championship with a Chevrolet Corvette Z06 GT3.R, with support from Corvette Racing. The team was previously supported by Aston Martin Racing.
Founded in 2014 by former British Touring Car and British GT driver, Tom Ferrier, TF Sport dovetailed a third British GT campaign with a strong European competition programme in the newly established GT3 Le Mans Cup and International GT Open.
Having successfully competed in 2015 in the Blancpain Series, the GT cup [1] and the International GT Open, TF Sport launched an additional campaign for the Michelin GT3 Le Mans Cup title in the 2016 season. [2]
Championship titles at home and abroad turned 2016 into a breakthrough year for TF Sport, but 2017 was even more momentous, as the official Aston Martin Racing Partner Team stepped over to GTE-spec machinery for a dream assault on the European Le Mans Series and the legendary 24 Hours of Le Mans.[ peacock prose ] [3]
TF Sport also provide racing team operations for a number of entries in different competitions, such as the 2023 Racing Team Turkey LMP2 [4] entry to Le Mans and support for the Team TGM entry to the 2023 24 Hours of Daytona. [5]
On 28 June 2023, it was announced that TF Sport would be aiming to run 2 Corvette Z06 GT3.Rs in the WEC in 2024, competing in the new LMGT3 class. [6]
