TF Sport secured a landmark victory in the LMGT3 class at the 24 Hours of Le Mans, marking the tenth class win for Corvette Racing at the event. The strategy was anchored by an incredible early stint from 54-year-old Ben Keating, who completed six hours of driving despite recovering from a broken elbow sustained just nine weeks prior. This effort set the stage for teammates Jonny Edgar and Nicky Catsburg to push for the lead.
Despite a mid-morning safety car that erased their lead, the team remained composed. Jonny Edgar delivered a standout performance, executing five consecutive stints to hold off intense pressure from Aston Martin and Lexus competitors. Both the team management and the drivers hailed the result as a career-defining moment, celebrating not only the strategic execution but also the robustness of the Corvette platform in high-heat conditions.
