Corvette Joins Forces with TF Sport

It is being reported by James Newbold on MotorSport.com that British sportscar outfit TF Sport will end its long association with Aston Martin and switch brands to campaign the Z06 GT3.R in the 2024 World Endurance Championship.

Tom Ferrier’s group plans to run two of the new-for-2024 Z06 GT3.R, which replaces the C8.R that won the Le Mans 24 earlier this month.

Drivers for the program have yet to be announced, but it is likely that Corvette factory drivers will be part of the line-up.

The photo spies in Detroit spied several new 2025 Corvette ZR1 prototypes wearing heaving camouflage with Chief Engineer Josh Holder behind the wheel. There were at least four prototypes in both Coupes and Convertibles models.

The cars are wearing that heavy black cladding that hides many of the details, but from first glance it appears that the front spoiler is even more aggressive than that on the Z06, but that could just be the covers exaggerating those details. Through the front mesh, we are seeing some of the same design details on the front fascia that are also on the widebody Z06/E-Ray.
