Jonny Edgar named Corvette Racing factory driver

Newly crowned WEC LMGT3 champion Jonny Edgar has been named a Corvette Racing factory driver. The 22-year-old Briton won the title in the No. 33 TF Sport Chevrolet Corvette Z06 GT3.R, although Nicky Catsburg and Ben Keating shared the car with him for most of the season. Edgar moved into sports car racing from the junior open-wheel ranks and won the 2024 European Le Mans Series LMP2 title with TF Sport before joining its LMGT3 programme.

Edgar also won his class at this year's 24 Hours of Le Mans and has won races in LMP2 and GTD in the IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship. He is set to be promoted to Gold rating in 2027. His promotion joins Nico Varrone, who also became a factory driver after winning the 2023 WEC GTE-Am title. Corvette Racing programme manager Andrea Hidalgo said Edgar had earned the opportunity through his performance over the last two years with TF Sport. Programmes for Edgar, Varrone and Charlie Eastwood will be confirmed later.
