24 Hours to win: Ziggo Sport Tempesta

A long-time contender in the GT World Challenge Europe, Ziggo Sport Tempesta won the Bronze class title in 2024, securing a spot on the grid for this year’s 24 Hours of Le Mans. A trio of drivers who have raced together for several years will take the wheel of the British team’s Ferrari 296 LMGT3: Jonathan Hui, Christopher Froggatt, and Eddie Cheever III.

The team. The origins of Tempesta Racing can be traced back to a Ferrari test session, where Christopher Froggatt first met Eddie Cheever III. From 2017 onwards, the team competed in the European Ferrari Challenge series before moving up to the GT World Challenge Europe Endurance Cup and GT Open in 2019. It has since become a standout presence in the SRO series, claiming multiple titles in both Sprint and Endurance formats in 2020, 2021 and 2024 – all at the wheel of a Ferrari.

Christopher Froggatt began his driving career in 2017 with the Ferrari Challenge, claiming the Trofeo Pirelli Am title in 2018, finishing over 130 points clear of the runner-up. After moving to the GT World Challenge Europe, he secured multiple titles: the Sprint Pro-Am class in 2020, the Endurance Pro-Am in 2021, and the Endurance Bronze Cup in 2024. This year marks his debut at the 24 Hours of Le Mans.
