TF Sport has a full line-up for the 2025 European Le Mans Series. The British team will field a Corvette Z06 GT3.R in the LMGT3 category with Hiroshi Koizumi as the Bronze driver. The Japanese driver will be supported in the No. 82 by Charlie Eastwood and Rui Andrade. The Irishman is a regular at the English team, which he also races in the World Le Mans Championship.Endurance since 2018 and with whom he has imposed himself at 24 Hours of Le Mans in 2020 in the GTE Am category alongside Jonatham Adam and Salih Yoluç. Eastwood and Andrade were already teammates in WEC last year.

« I am happy to be back in ELMS, says Eastwood. In the past, we have had great success with the LMP2 class in the championship, but I have never raced in the GT series. I am looking forward to driving the Corvette Z06 GT3.R on some of my favourite circuits, including Silverstone at last. Thanks to last year’s WEC season, I know Rui and Hiroshi well, and with TF Sport and Corvette, we could achieve great results! »

« I am delighted to be returning to ELMS and racing on some of the most iconic circuits in Europe with the Corvette., adds Andrade. It’s a new challenge for the whole team, but with their experience and knowledge, I’m confident we’ll have a great season together. We have a strong team: I know Charlie well and I’m looking forward to working with Hiroshi. I can’t wait to get started! »

The ELMS season will begin on April 6 with the 4 Hours of Barcelona.
