For Sébastien Baud, joining TF Sport in the FIA WEC is an honour and a childhood dream come true. “I am so excited to know that I am making a childhood dream come true!

I am looking forward to work with my more experienced teammates, from whom I will be able to learn even more, especially from Dani. Thanks to the team for the trust!” Baud exclaims with excitement.

Spanish driver Dani Juncadella, emphasised the excitement surrounding the 2024 season. “It’s going to be an exciting season: it will be the first opportunity to race in the FIA WEC and to participate in the 24 Hours of Le Mans, which makes it all so special. New team, new brand, new car, new teammates, everything is a new challenge and it’s really exciting. I am stoked to get to know the team well, to get to know Hiroshi during testing at the start of the season and also Seb, who I already know a little bit. I’m very keen to team up with them and get to work from day one: I hope we will have a strong season!” Juncadella shares.

TF Sport Director Tom Ferrier added, “We are very pleased to announce our full line-up for the 2024 season of the FIA World Endurance Championship.
