TF Sport is an auto racing team founded by Tom Ferrier and headquartered in Slinfold, West Sussex, England, United Kingdom. It competed in the 2024 FIA World Endurance Championship with a Chevrolet Corvette Z06 GT3.R, with support from Corvette Racing. The team was previously supported by Aston Martin Racing.
Overview
[edit]Founded in 2014 by former British Touring Car and British GT driver, Tom Ferrier, TF Sport dovetailed a third British GT campaign with a strong European competition programme in the newly established GT3 Le Mans Cup and International GT Open.
Having successfully competed in 2015 in the Blancpain Series, the GT cup[1] and the International GT Open, TF Sport launched an additional campaign for the Michelin GT3 Le Mans Cup title in the 2016 season.[2]
Championship titles at home and abroad turned 2016 into a breakthrough year for TF Sport, but 2017 was even more momentous, as the official Aston Martin Racing Partner Team stepped over to GTE-spec machinery for a dream assault on the European Le Mans Series and the legendary 24 Hours of Le Mans.[peacock prose][3]
TF Sport also provide racing team operations for a number of entries in different competitions, such as the 2023 Racing Team Turkey LMP2[4] entry to Le Mans and support for the Team TGM entry to the 2023 24 Hours of Daytona.[5]
On 28 June 2023, it was announced that TF Sport would be aiming to run 2 Corvette Z06 GT3.Rs in the WEC in 2024, competing in the new LMGT3 class.[6]
