Barrichello Joins Racing Spirit of Léman For WEC

Aston Martin customer team Racing Spirit of Léman has revealed the third and final driver for its debut FIA WEC LMGT3 campaign in 2025.

The Swiss-flagged, Haute-Savoie-based outfit has signed 23-year-old Brazillian racer Eduardo Barrichello for the season, to race alongside American Derek Deboer and AMR factory driver Valentin Hasse Clot in the team’s #10 Vantage AMR LMGT3 EVO.

Barrichello, the son of former Formula One racer Rubens, joins the team after spending two full seasons in the Stock Car Pro Series (South America’s premier touring car championship) with Mobil Ale Full Time. Over the past two years he amassed three race wins and finished third in the standings in 2024.

He completes a strong line-up which the team will hope brings it success in its first year racing on the world stage.

The team has spent recent years competing in the European Le Mans Series and Le Mans Cup, claiming the 2022 LMP3 and 2023 GT3 titles in the latter during its stint.

Next year Racing Spirit replaces D’Station Racing in Aston Martin’s two-car line-up for the FIA WEC. It will compete alongside fellow partner team Heart of Racing, which is set to expand its WEC effort with a pair of brand new Valkyrie AMR-LMHs.

Racing Spirit of Léman will also return to the European Le Mans Series in 2025 with cars entered in both LMP3 and LMGT3.

Hasse Clot is signed up for a European campaign with the team too, he will share the #59 Vantage with 2024 D’Station WEC drivers Erwan Bastard and Clément Mateu.
