TF Sport confirms Charlie Eastwood and announces Nick Catsburg as Corvette factory drivers for the 2026 FIA WEC season
The 2025 calendar has not yet turned, but it is already time to think about 2026. As the provisional entry list for the upcoming FIA World Endurance Championship season has been published, TF Sport is pleased to present the two Corvette factory drivers who will be behind the wheel of the two Z06 GT3.Rs: Charlie Eastwood in the #34 and Nicky Catsburg in the #33.
Charlie Eastwood, born in Belfast in 1995, is well known within the ranks of TF Sport: with the team, the Northern Irishman won the 2020 24 Hours of Le Mans in the LMGTE Am class, was champion of the LMP2 Pro/Am class in the 2022 European Le Mans Series and, in 2025, took third place at the Le Mans 24 Hours and clinched the LMGT3 title in the European Le Mans Series. Charlie has played an important role in shaping the team's history, and TF Sport is delighted to continue working with such a talented and successful driver.
Nicky Catsburg, born in Amersfoort in 1988, is already an icon in the world of endurance racing. With Corvette, the Dutchman won the 2021 Rolex 24 At Daytona in the GTLM class and the 2022 12 Hours of Sebring in the GTD PRO class. In 2023, in the LMGTE AM category, he won both the 24 Hours of Le Mans and the FIA World Endurance Championship. In the same year, at the wheel of a Ferrari 296 GT3, Catsburg also claimed victory in the 24 Hours of Nürburgring. Now able to count on his talent, speed and experience, TF Sport is ready to be one of the teams to beat in the upcoming FIA WEC season.
CHARLIE EASTWOOD, #34 CORVETTE FACTORY DRIVER:“I can't wait to return to the WEC for a third year with Corvette. Last year we made great strides, with a podium finish at Le Mans and a chance to win the championship in the final race: it was a really positive progression. Now we have to build on that. The team is improving, they are working hard to make the lineup as strong as possible and give us the best chance of winning another World Endurance Championship for Corvette and Chevrolet”.
NICKY CATSBURG, #33 CORVETTE FACTORY DRIVER:“I am super excited to join TF Sport for the 2026 FIA WEC season. I have raced against them many times and they have always been a very strong opponent. I absolutely love the Chevrolet Corvette Z06 GT3.R so I can’t wait for what will be a very busy 2026!”.
