One week after Orey Fidani (Corvette Z06 GT3 R) won the invitation to compete at the 2026 Le Mans 24 Hours as best Bronze driver in the IMSA GTD category and winner of the Bob Akin award, TF Sport (Corvette Z06 GT3 R) clinched an invitation to be used in LMGT3 as 2025 ELMS champion team in the LMGT3 category.

With the two TF Sport Corvette Z06 GT3 R participating to the FIA World Endurance Championship, a minimum of four Corvette Z06 GT3 R will participate in the 2026 Le Mans 24 Hours

Charlie Eastwood, Rui Andrade and class pole-winner Hiroshi Koizumi teamed for their second LMGT3 victory of the season in the #82 Corvette Z06 GT3.R and, in the process, claimed the class Drivers and Teams championships. The added bonus is that the title comes with an automatic invitation to next year’s 24 Hours of Le Mans.

On top of those two invitations, both TF Sport Corvette Z06 GT3 R participating to the 2026 FIA WEC will also be part of the longest race of the championship at Le Mans.

Next month’s Eight Hours of Bahrain will deliver the FIA World Endurance Championship’s LMGT3 titles where Eastwood, Andrade and Tom Van Rompuy are currently third.
