Jonny Edgar Named Corvette Racing Factory Driver
The promotion follows his Le Mans class win and WEC LMGT3 title; Corvette has not yet confirmed his 2027 programme.
Overview
- Corvette Racing announced Thursday that 22-year-old Jonny Edgar has been added to its factory driver roster after winning the 2026 FIA WEC LMGT3 drivers’ title.
- Edgar secured the 24 Hours of Le Mans LMGT3 class for the No. 33 TF Sport Corvette by driving five consecutive closing stints to protect the lead at La Sarthe.
- He won the WEC title as the solo driver of the No. 33 TF Sport Chevrolet Corvette Z06 GT3.R, with Nicky Catsburg and Ben Keating serving as his co-drivers for much of the season.
- Reports say Edgar will hold an FIA Gold rating in 2027, representing a formal step up from his Silver classification this year.
- Corvette said programmes for Edgar and fellow promoted drivers Nico Varrone and Charlie Eastwood will be announced later, and the factory role will carry manufacturer-assigned duties that consolidate Edgar’s rapid rise from single-seaters into works-driver status.
