The FIA released the official entry list for the 24 Hours of Le Mans for its 94th running this June 10-14 and included are four entries from the Corvette Racing program.
British racing team TF Sport will be fielding three of those entries as they are currently Corvette Racing’s customer team in the FIA Word Endurance Championship. It’s the third consecutive year that Corvettes will be running under the TF Sport banner as they contest the full-season championship.
The official Corvette entries include the No.33 Corvette Z06 GT3.R consisting of Nicky Catsburg, Jonny Edgar, and Ben Keating plus the No. 34 Corvette with drivers Charlie Eastwood, Salih Yoluc, and Peter Dempsey.
In addition to those full-season WEC entries, TF Sport was able to use its automatic invitation from winning last year’s European Le Mans Series with another Corvette featuring drivers from Johor Motorsports Racing (JMR). That car will race as the No. 66 Corvette Z06 GT3.R and drivers include Prince Jefri Ibrahim, Afiq Ikhwan, and Ben Green.
The fourth entry comes from IMSA with 13 Autosport (formerly AWA Racing) which will contest its No. 13 Corvette Z06 GT3.R team the driver’s line up featuring owner/driver Orey Fidani, Matt Bell and Lars Kern. The team earned an automatic entry after Orey Fidani won his second straight Bob Akin Award which goes to the top scoring Bronze-rated driver in IMSA’s GTD class.
The last time that four Corvettes raced together at the 24 Hours of Le Mans was the historic first outing in 1960 which featured three cars from Briggs Cunningham and the fourth by Lloyd “Lucky” Casner’s Camoradi USA team. That year, the No. 3 Corvette won the GT class with drivers John Fitch and Bob Grossman.
The 2026 24 Hours of Le Mans is scheduled for June 13-14 and will be the fourth round of the FIA World Endurance Championship. You can see provisional entry list at FIA.com.

This is not true at all. I was there in 2016 when 4 Corvettes competed in the race.
