Corvette squad TF Sport has revealed its driver line-up for its European Le Mans Series LMGT3 title defence, as well as a striking new livery for its Z06 LMGT3.R.
Factory driver Charlie Eastwood is the only returnee to the crew of its renumbered #33 Corvette, with the Northern Irishman being joined by series debutants Blake McDonald and Alec Udell.
Both McDonald and Udell are familiar with the Corvette, having previously raced the car in GT3 specification, primarily in North America.
McDonald competed in GT World Challenge America last season with DXDT Racing, and finished as runner-up in the Pro/Am class alongside Matt Bell. The American then embarked on an Asian Le Mans Series campaign with TF Sport.
Udell, meanwhile, has raced for DXDT the past two years. In 2024, he scored an impressive seven race victories in GT World Challenge America alongside Tommy Milner, with the pairing coming up only 27 points short of the Pro drivers’ title despite missing the first two events.
Last year, the 30-year-old switched to the IMSA Sportscar Championship with the team, where he picked up a best finish of fourth in GTD at Canadian Tire Motorsport Park.
In 2025, TF Sport earned its first title as a Corvette Racing partner team, as its #82 ‘Chromevette’ of Eastwood, Rui Andrade and Hiroshi Koizumi won two races, including the finale, on its way to the ELMS LMGT3 drivers’ and teams’ titles.
The 2026 European Le Mans Series season begins at the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya, Spain on 10th to 12th April 2026.
