Always a fan of Corvettes winning IMSA and WEC races. And major kudos to a non-factory team for taking a Pratt & Miller GT-3R Corvette to victory lane. 24 hours is a beating on any machine, team, and strategy in those conditions and the resilience and durability came out on top!
Much drama in the past concerning the factory team and other Corvette teams, especially in the old ALMS days...
TF Sport, Corvette becomes second team and brand to win LMGT3 at Le Mans!
Winning the LMGT3 category of the 94th edition of the 24 Hours of Le Mans is the No.33 TF Sport Corvette of Ben Keating/Jonny Edgar/Nicky Catsburg ahead of the No.78 Akkodis ASP Team RC-F of Hadrien David/Jack Hawksworth/Tom Van Rompuy as the No.23 Heart of Racing Vantage of Jonny Adam/Eduardo Barrichello/Gray Newell completes the podium. Finishing off the top five is No.87 Akkodis ASP Team RC-F and No.21 Vista AF Corse Ferrari.
Despite starting towards the rear of the field, the fleet of Corvettes would find their way towards the top of LMGT3 during the night hours, becoming the third party in a fight that included Akkodis ASP Team and Heart of Racing for the class win. Meanwhile the No.77 Proton Competition Mustang and No.91 Manthey DK Engineering GT3 R would both retire from the race, the former for mechanical issues and the latter due to heavy damage from a crash on the Mulsanne.
