UK-based TF Sport has revealed the driver trios for its pair of LMGT3 Corvettes for the 2025 FIA World Endurance Championship.
The headline from its announcement is the signing of 2023 GTE Am champion Ben Keating, who returns to a full-time drive in the WEC after a year spent in IMSA’s LMP2 class with United Autosports.
The bronze-rated Texan will race alongside 2024 ELMS LMP2 champion Jonny Edgar and works driver Daniel Juncadella race in the No. 33 Z06 LMGT3.R.
Three drivers return in the sister car, with Tom Van Rompuy, Rui Andrade and Charlie Eastwood set to share the No. 81.
“2024 was a building year for us and Corvette Racing that ended with some really positive results for all involved,” team owner Tom Ferrier said.
“I think that shows how much hard work and determination was put in behind the scenes.
For 2025 we have two really great line-ups, and I am hoping we can be racing at the front right from the start of the year and back where ourselves and Corvette Racing belong.
“I am very thankful for the support of GM, Corvette Racing and the drivers for making this program happen. We cannot wait to get going in Qatar.”
For Keating, who won the 2022 GTE Am title with TF Sport, the WEC gig adds to his Rolex 24 At Daytona GTD PRO drive as part of Trackhouse by TF Sport’s all-star team.
It’s a globe-trotting effort which will see him push for a third Le Mans class win and WEC class title.
“I am so excited to be back in the FIA World Endurance Championship family,” Keating added.
“I have missed all the people and places I have come to love. I am also thrilled to be back with TF Sport for 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 is grateful for the chance to compete in the WEC for the first time after a head-turning season competing in the ELMS and IMSA LMP2 classes.
“It is great to be racing with TF Sport again after the success we had together in the ELMS in 2024,” he said. “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.”
Fellow bronze-graded Belgian racer Van Rompuy, meanwhile, is excited to return to the championship for a second season with TF.
“We finished last season on a high, so our expectations for 2025 are even higher,” he said.
“I know we have a strong and consistent package to fight for good results. I feel very proud to drive for another year alongside Charlie and Rui.
“As a team, we made perfect progress last season, so my desire to win is at an all-time high. I look forward to seeing all the fans again,
thank you all for your great support!”
The two line-ups are expected on track in a few weeks for their first test sessions in preparation for the upcoming season, which gets underway in Qatar next February.
