The LMGT3 WEC champion has factory status next year
Newly crowned LMGT3 World Endurance Champion Jonny Edgar has been appointed as a factory Corvette Racing driver for 2027.
Fresh off a title-winning campaign with TF Sport (which included victory at this year’s Le Mans 24 Hours), Edgar will now join Antonio Garcia, Alexander Sims, Tommy Sims and Nicky Catsburg on the Corvette driver roster.
At just 22 years old, Edgar has already enjoyed his fair share of success. In addition to his 2026 WEC LMGT3 title, Edgar won the ADAC Formula 4 title in 2020, the European Le Mans Series in 2024 (at the wheel of an LMP2 Oreca), and has tasted victory in both IMSA and Formula 3.
His performances in 2026 have elevated him to Gold status as per the FIA's Driver Categorisation system.
Of his latest venture with Corvette Racing, Edgar said it is "a great honour to be able to make that transition from being a Silver driver to now a factory driver for Corvette Racing".

He stated that his experience alongside team-mates Dani Juncadella, and Nicky Catsburg, has been of significant help in prepared him for his new role.
Corvette Racing program Manager Andrea Hidalgo has expressed his support of Edgar, stating that "He has earned this opportunity with his performance and professionalism during the last two years with TF Sport. His closing stints at Le Mans proved what he is capable of and will be remembered by the team and fans for a long time."
The details of Edgar's programme are currently unknown. He is expected to balance his Corvette duties with a planned campaign in the Asian Le Mans Series with the Aston Martin customer team, Car Blanche by RSL.
