LMGT3 category front-runner TF Sport has unveiled its full line-up for the 2026 FIA World Endurance Championship campaign, with its six-strong stable of drivers characterised by a blend of continuity and change.
The successful British outfit topped the podium twice in 2025 – in the curtain-raising contest in Lusail and then again in the penultimate outing of the season at Fuji in Japan – on its way to securing fifth and sixth spots in the final standings with its pair of potent Corvette Z06 LMGT3.Rs.
Two-time FIA WEC LMGTE Am champion Ben Keating and 2024 European Le Mans Series (ELMS) LMP2 title-holder Jonny Edgar remain on-board the Qatar-conquering #33 entry, to be partnered by Corvette factory driver, Nicky Catsburg. The 37-year-old Dutchman will return to the series for the first time since clinching the LMGTE Am crown and prevailing in the 24 Hours of Le Mans alongside Keating two years ago.
Catsburg has additionally triumphed in-class in three other legendary endurance races – the Rolex 24 At Daytona, 12 Hours of Sebring and Nürburgring 24 Hours – and steps into the seat vacated by Genesis-bound Daniel Juncadella, who is preparing to make his Hypercar debut with the Korean newcomer.
In the re-numbered #34 sister car, Corvette factory driver Charlie Eastwood – the reigning ELMS LMGT3 champion and an LMGTE Am winner at Le Mans in 2020 – is the sole incumbent, with the 30-year-old Northern Irishman set to be flanked by Peter Dempsey and Salih Yoluç under the Racing Team Turkey by TF banner.
Dempsey’s long career has included stints in both GT racing and single-seaters, with the experienced Irishman reaching the highest step of the rostrum in Indy Lights in 2013, in a sensational four-wide photo-finish that went down in the record books as the smallest margin of victory in Indianapolis Motor Speedway history (0.0026 seconds).
Yoluç, finally, is no stranger to TF Sport, having won at LMGTE Am level with the team at Le Mans in 2020 and finished inside the top three in the championship standings in FIA WEC’s two ‘Super Seasons’ in 2018/19 and 2019/20.
The Istanbul native has similarly lifted the laurels in ELMS, the Asian Le Mans Series, the Blancpain GT Series Endurance Cup and the 24 Hours of Spa. He will be rejoining the FIA World Endurance Championship grid following a five-year absence.
