TF Sport unveils the full lineups of its two Corvette Z06 GT3.RS for the 2026 WEC season

The chessboard is ready, and all the pieces have gone to their right places. As the 2026 FIA World Endurance Championship season approaches, TF Sport reveals the full lineups of the two mighty Corvette Z06 GT3.Rs. The drivers in the upcoming campaign are Ben Keating, Jonny Edgar and Nicky Catsburg in the #33 car, and Peter Dempsey, Salih Yoluç and Charlie Eastwood in the Racing Team Turkey by TF #34 Vette.

The line up of the Corvette Z06 GT3.R #33 features a new face alongside two familiar ones. Nicky Catsburg – who will replace Dani Juncadella – will flank 2025 teammates Jonny Edgar and Ben Keating in the new FIA World Endurance Championship season. With TF Sport, Ben in 2022 won both the FIA World Endurance Championship and the 24 Hours of Le Mans and, in 2025, also won the opening round of the FIA WEC campaign in Qatar. His experience and racecraft will be key to continuing the team’s growth from last year.

Jonny Edgar, born in Whitehaven in 2004, has shown great speed throughout all his career and was a member of the Red Bull Junior Team for five years. With TF Sport, the Englishman won the 2024 European Le Mans Series title in LMP2 and, thanks to his talent, Jonny proved himself last season be the ideal addition to form a strong lineup.

Nicky Catsburg, born in Amersfoort in 1988, is already an icon in the world of endurance racing. As a Corvette factory driver, 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, he won both the 24 Hours of Le Mans and the FIA World Endurance Championship in the LMGTE Am with Keating as a teammate. In the same year, at the wheel of a Ferrari 296 GT3, Catsburg also claimed victory in the 24 Hours of Nürburgring.

There will be some significant changes for our Racing Team Turkey by TF GT3.R: not only will the Vette switch from #81 to #34, but two of its three drivers will also change. Peter Dempsey, Salih Yoluç and Charlie Eastwood will be behind the wheel of this car. Peter, born in Ashbourne in 1986, will be wearing the TF Sport colours for the first time in his career: the Irishman has had a remarkable career competing in both GT and Formula cars, and has also raced in the Firestone Indy Lights series. Peter's experience and skill will be extremely useful in confirming the excellent form shown by the #81 GT3.R in the second half of the 2025 FIA WEC season.

Salih Yoluç is no stranger to TF Sport. The Turkish driver, born in Istanbul in 1985, boasts a successful career. With the team, Salih won the 2020 24 Hours of Le Mans in the LMGTE Am class, finished 2nd and 3rd respectively in the 2018-2019 and 2019-2020 FIA WEC Superseasons championship standings, and won the 2019 Blancpain Endurance Cup and the 2019 24 Hours of Spa. Salih, who was also champion in the LMP2 Pro/Am in the 2022 European Le Mans Series and won the Asian Le Mans Series in 2023, will return to the team two years after his last appearance in the 2023 24 Hours of Le Mans in the LMP2 Pro/Am category.

Charlie Eastwood needs no introduction. Born in Belfast in 1995, Charlie won the 2020 24 Hours of Le Mans in the LMGTE Am class with TF Sport, was champion of the LMP2 Pro/Am class in the 2022 European Le Mans Series and, in 2025, clinched the LMGT3 title in the European Le Mans Series. The Northern Irishman and Corvette factory pilot will thus continue to write important pages in the team's history, aiming to maintain the positive momentum gained in the second half of the 2025 FIA WEC season.
