TF Sport will benefit from a “bespoke level of parts distribution support for 2024″ as part of the GM brand’s increasing presence in Europe for its new customer GT3 program. GM has told RACER that the plan is to run its customer operation in Europe out of a new permanent location on the continent.

“To do a proper job in Europe, we want to make sure we have a setup that will likely include some type of headquarters that we can run parts in and out of,” GM sports car racing program manager said.

Ferrier who has guided his team to five British GT titles, international titles in GT3, GTE and LMP2, and a Le Mans class win in 2020 and 2022 says he feels the time is right for the team to move on from competing with Aston Martin Racing.

“I am thrilled to have the opportunity to represent such an iconic brand on the world stage,” he said.
Corvette Racing has an immense history at Le Mans and we will be looking to continue that run of success.

I’d like to thank everyone at Aston Martin Racing for the support and success we have had over the past six years and seven Le Mans but now I feel the time is right for a new challenge in the WEC.

“We still have a job to do in this year’s WEC, now lying second in the championship. And will give it our all to finish on a high.”

In addition to the confirmed two-car efforts for TF Sport and Corvette Racing by Pratt Miller Motorsport with the Z06 GT3.R,
Corvette is set to reveal two further customer teams for 2024 shortly.
The four remaining cars are expected to run with new customers in IMSA GTD and SRO America, respectively.

With TF Sport making the switch to Corvette, Aston Martin’s LMGT3 plans are currently unknown. Currently, the Northwest AMR effort in the WEC GTE Am class (that runs alongside TF Sport’s pair of Vantages) is being operated by Heart of Racing, after Paul Dalla Lana stepped away from racing after Round 2 of the current season at Portimao.

RACER understands that an evo kit for the Vantage GT3 is currently being developed behind the scenes and could debut as soon as 2024.

While there are no concrete guarantees just yet that TF Sport and Corvette will be granted spaces on the 2024 LMGT3 grid due to the size of the Hypercar field,
GM is confident its plans will come together.
This is because it remains committed to Hypercar with Cadillac in 2024 and Hypercar manufacturers are expected to receive priority when applying for LMGT3 grid spaces.
