+# WEC Racing Team Turkey by TF follow-up - 2026-07-18
+
+## Scope
+
+This pass audited the current 2026 Le Mans #34 Racing Team Turkey by TF staff
+table against the source roster. Direct HTML extraction was used after
+Firecrawl returned its keyless rate-limit response. The failure was not treated
+as a negative search result.
+
+Only public static portraits were eligible. No video, video frame, reel, or
+video thumbnail was searched or used.
+
+## Added person
+
+| Person | Published English role | Evidence | Confidence |
+| --- | --- | --- | --- |
+| Jonathan Lynn | `Technical Director / Sporting Director, car #34` | The [current #34 record](https://www.24h-en-piste.com/en/AfficherDetails.php?Type=Course&Annee=2026&Numero=34) writes `John O’Lynn`. Jonathan Lynn's exact current profile says he leads TF Sport's engineering department as Sporting Director / Race Engineer across WEC, ELMS and ALMS; the #33 record uses the full Jonathan Lynn spelling. The source variation is preserved without creating a duplicate person. | medium |
+
+Jonathan Lynn reuses the existing locally stored profile portrait whose public
+post author identity, current TF Sport role announcement, download, and visual
+inspection were already verified.
+
+## Existing assignment validated
+
+Chris Gregory was already projected from the TF Sport source member into the
+#34 card through the shared `33 / 34` entry mapping. The current #34 record
+directly lists him as Chief mechanic; the #33 record repeats the duty, 2018,
+2019 and 2025 TF Sport Le Mans records establish continuity, and
+[BAM Motorsport Management](https://bammotorsportmanagement.com/faceoff-racing-by-florian-kaltenbach/)
+credits him as TF Sport 1st Mechanic. This pass adds team-specific profile
+evidence but deliberately does not create a second Chris Gregory row.
+
+## Avatar recheck
+
+- Rob Courtneidge: the exact public Instagram avatar remains a dark, blurred
+  100 x 100 image that does not work at dashboard size.
+- Blake Adamson: the exact current TF Sport profile still exposes the platform
+  default avatar. A current personal post image could not be downloaded from
+  its signed URL and did not establish a person-position key.
+- Chris Gregory: the exact-name LinkedIn result belongs to a US construction
+  operations executive. Motorsport results show cars, drivers, or production
+  credits without an attributable clear portrait.
+
+All three candidates were rejected. No namesake or ambiguous group photograph
+was assigned merely to reduce the visible gap count.
+
+## Result
+
+Racing Team Turkey by TF rises from five to six displayed people. Its verified
+portrait count rises from two to three by correctly reusing Jonathan Lynn's
+existing local portrait in the #34 context. The final Playwright browser check
+showed exactly one Jonathan Lynn and one Chris Gregory row, with the local
+portrait loaded in the centered profile modal.
