Sports car racer has WEC season championship and future Corvette ride in his sights.
Bronze-rated, the 51-year-old Ben Keating and his TF Sport co-driver Marco Sorensen, a two-time pro GT champion in the WEC, enter the 8 Hours of Bahrain with a 20-point lead in the LM GTE AM class.Corvette“They’ve seen me perform well and I’ve been given this opportunity to move into position,” said Keating of his bid to become one of Corvette’s privateers in 2024.
The wiry Texan’s relatively small size, penchant for fitness and success with car dealerships, which pays for his racing, are preludes to a dream weekend in Bahrain at the upcoming WEC season finale. Ben Keating, co-driver Marco Sorensen and silver-rated racer Henrique Chaves will race for a WEC season championship on Saturday.“This year, we win the 24 Hours of Le Mans and I get to listen to"God Save the Queen", the British national anthem, on the podium,” said Keating, one of the largest volume car dealers in the U.S. “I am excited about the idea that if I win a race in a Corvette we’re going to listen to the American national anthem.
But first, the Bahrain race. Bronze-rated, the 51-year-old Keating and his TF Sport co-driver Marco Sorensen, a two-time pro GT champion in the WEC, enter the event with a 20-point lead in the LM GTE AM class. They’ll be joined by silver-rated driver Henrique Chaves and need to finish within two positions of their title rival, NorthWest AMR, to clinch the title.
