Corvette Racing Rallies to Dramatic Victory at Fuji

As the 2025 FIA World Endurance Championship (WEC) nears its finale, Corvette Racing roared to victory at Fuji Speedway on September 28th. The No. 81 Corvette Z06 GT3.R, fielded by TF Sport and driven by Charlie Eastwood, Rui Andrade, and Tom Van Rompuy, battled back from an early penalty to claim the LMGT3 class win, their second of the season.
