TF Sport is a British auto racing team founded by Tom Ferrier and headquartered in Slinfold, West Sussex, England. The team competes across multiple international sports car championships including the FIA World Endurance Championship, the European Le Mans Series, the IMSA SportsCar Championship, and the Asian Le Mans Series.

TF Sport was established in 2014 by Tom Ferrier, a former competitor in the British Touring Car Championship and the British GT Championship. In its first season, the team ran a third British GT campaign while simultaneously expanding into European competition, entering the newly established GT3 Le Mans Cup and the International GT Open.

The team quickly demonstrated that it could compete at a high level across multiple platforms simultaneously. In 2015, TF Sport contested the Blancpain GT Series, the GT Cup, and the International GT Open, building operational depth before a more ambitious 2016 campaign.

The 2016 season proved transformative for TF Sport. Championship titles in both domestic and international competition confirmed the team as a serious force in GT3 racing. The team secured the Michelin GT3 Le Mans Cup title that year, one of its first significant championship victories, validating its expansion strategy across European endurance and sprint formats.

The 2017 season brought a significant step up in programme scale. TF Sport became an official Aston Martin Racing Partner Team and moved into GTE-specification machinery, entering the European Le Mans Series and the 24 Hours of Le Mans. Running GTE-Pro or GTE-Am class Aston Martins at Le Mans placed TF Sport among the front-rank professional GT operations competing at the world's most celebrated endurance event.

This relationship with Aston Martin defined much of the team's identity through the late 2010s and early 2020s. TF Sport operated Aston Martin Vantage GT3 and GTE machinery in multiple series, building significant experience with the platform.

Beyond its own competitive entries, TF Sport has provided racing team operations and technical support to other programmes. In 2023, the team managed the Racing Team Turkey LMP2 entry at the 24 Hours of Le Mans and provided support for the Team TGM entry at the 24 Hours of Daytona. This consultancy and operational model โ€” running third-party programmes alongside its own entries โ€” has allowed TF Sport to grow its technical staff and revenue base while maintaining its core competitive presence.

In June 2023, TF Sport announced a significant new direction: a planned campaign with two Corvette Z06 GT3.R cars in the FIA World Endurance Championship from 2024, competing in the newly established LMGT3 class. The LMGT3 category replaced GTE Am in the WEC from the 2024 season, and TF Sport's commitment to Corvette represented both a change in manufacturer partnership and an alignment with one of the most anticipated GT3 platforms of that era.

TF Sport has established itself as one of the more versatile and credible mid-tier GT racing operations in international sports car racing. Starting from a single British GT entry in 2014, the team grew within a decade into a multi-series outfit competing at Le Mans, in the World Endurance Championship, and across multiple continental series. Its decade-long Aston Martin partnership, followed by the move to Corvette machinery, reflects the team's ability to attract major manufacturer relationships and sustain long-term competitive programmes.
