Chevrolet will contest the 24 Hours of Le Mans on June 13-14 with four Corvette Z06 GT3.Rs, the largest Corvette entry at the French endurance classic in a decade. All four are under the Corvette Racing umbrella, which has nine class victories at Le Mans, most recently in 2023.
TF Sport fields three of the four entries. Two are the team’s FIA World Endurance Championship regulars—the No. 33 driven by Nicky Catsburg, Jonny Edgar, and Ben Keating, and the No. 34 Racing Team Turkey by TF car with Charlie Eastwood, Salih Yoluc, and Peter Dempsey. The third is the No. 2, featuring drivers and crew from Johor Motorsports Racing: Ben Green, Lorcan Hanafin, and HH Prince Jefri Ibrahim. The fourth Corvette is 13 Autosport’s No. 13, which placed 10th in its Le Mans debut last year and returns with the same driver lineup of Matt Bell, Orey Fidani, and Lars Kern.
The stakes are highest for the two TF Sport WEC entries. Le Mans awards double points, and every LMGT3 championship winner since 2021 has won in class there. The No. 33 sits fourth in the standings after a runner-up finish at Imola, though Keating has been sidelined by an elbow injury with Blake McDonald subbing in. The No. 34 scored its first points of the season with a ninth-place finish at Spa-Francorchamps.
The No. 2 TF Sport entry earned its Le Mans slot by winning the 2025 European Le Mans Series championship. Of the three drivers, only Hanafin has raced at Le Mans, though Green and Prince Jefri finished second in Pro-Am at the Bathurst 12 Hours in February. Prince Jefri called Le Mans “a race that I’ve always wanted JMR to compete in. It took us seven years to get here, and finally it’s happening.”
The 13 Autosport Corvette, finished in Canadian red, was an instant hit with fans at its 2025 debut. The team won a second consecutive Bob Akin Award in IMSA competition before returning to Le Mans. Bell noted the team’s shift in mindset: “Now I am seeing everybody go, ‘Right. Let’s go and grab this by the horns.’ There is certainly a lot of hunger in the team.”
The GT3-spec Corvette finished third in class at Le Mans in 2025, its first podium since debuting in 2024. Catsburg, who last drove a Corvette at Le Mans in 2023—the year Corvette Racing took its most recent class win—has since raced prototypes at the circuit. “I haven’t been there yet in a GT3-spec car, so that’s going to be new,” he said.
All four entries will take part in Sunday’s Test Day, the first time for the field to run on the 8.48-mile circuit since last year’s race. The 24 Hours of Le Mans starts at 10 a.m. ET on Saturday, June 13. Live streaming is available through FIA WEC Plus and the HBO Max app in the U.S.
