TF Sport Continues Winning Streak with Corvette GT3.R Victory at São Paulo
TF Sport has continued its remarkable run of success with another major international endurance racing victory, capturing the LMGT3 class win at the FIA World Endurance Championship Rolex 6 Hours of São Paulo with the No. 34 Racing Team Turkey by TF Chevrolet Corvette Z06 GT3.R on Forgeline one-piece forged monoblock SS1R-GT wheels.
The winning trio of Charlie Eastwood, Salih Yoluc, and Peter Dempsey combined for a flawless performance at Brazil's Interlagos circuit, delivering TF Sport's second consecutive LMGT3 victory in the FIA WEC following the team's class win at the 24 Hours of Le Mans just one month earlier.
The victory was especially impressive given the circumstances. Starting 10th in class, the No. 34 Corvette became the first LMGT3 winner this season to claim victory from outside the front row. A combination of aggressive driving, sharp strategy, and mistake-free execution allowed the TF Sport entry to steadily work its way through the field and establish itself as the class favorite as the race progressed.
Yoluc made an immediate impact in the opening stages, advancing through the field and placing the Corvette in contention. Dempsey then delivered another strong stint to maintain the team's momentum before handing the car over to Eastwood for the race's final hours. Even a late-race puncture couldn't derail the effort, as Eastwood managed the situation perfectly and still brought the Corvette home more than eight seconds clear of the competition.
The result marks the first FIA WEC victory for the No. 34 Racing Team Turkey by TF entry and further strengthens the Corvette Z06 GT3.R's growing reputation as one of the most successful GT3 platforms in global motorsports. It also continues the momentum built by TF Sport throughout 2026, following victories at the 24 Hours of Le Mans and the European Le Mans Series 4 Hours of Imola.
The Chevrolet Corvette Z06 GT3.R itself is the product of a close collaboration between Pratt Miller, Chevrolet, Corvette Racing, and Forgeline. The platform has earned victories across IMSA, FIA WEC, ELMS, SRO competition, and many of the world's most prestigious endurance races.
As part of the Corvette GT3.R development program, Pratt Miller worked closely with Forgeline to create an application-specific version of the center-locking SS1R-GT wheel engineered specifically for the Corvette platform. Every Corvette GT3.R competes on Forgeline one-piece forged monoblock SS1R-GT wheels, developed to optimize mass, deflection, strength, and durability while meeting the extreme demands of professional endurance racing. The result is a wheel package capable of performing at the highest level through six-hour, twelve-hour, and even 24-hour endurance events around the world.
With back-to-back FIA WEC victories and major wins on both sides of the Atlantic, TF Sport and the Corvette GT3.R continue to establish themselves as one of endurance racing's benchmark programs in 2026.
Congratulations to Charlie Eastwood, Salih Yoluc, Peter Dempsey, and the entire TF Sport and Racing Team Turkey organizations on an outstanding victory, and thank you for trusting Forgeline.
