The 23-year-old Brazilian will compete alongside American Derek Deboer and AMR factory driver Valentin Hasse Clot in the team's No. 10 Vantage AMR LMGT3 EVO. Barrichello joins after a successful stint in the Stock Car Pro Series, where he secured three race wins and finished third in the 2024 standings.

Racing Spirit of Léman, while new to FIA WEC, brings significant experience from the European Le Mans Series and Le Mans Cup, including LMP3 honors in 2022 and a GT3 crown in 2023. The team replaces D'Station Racing in Aston Martin's two-car WEC lineup and will race alongside Heart of Racing, which is expanding its program with two new Valkyrie AMR-LMHs.

The team will maintain its presence in the European Le Mans Series, competing in both LMP3 and LMGT3 categories. Hasse Clot will also participate in the European campaign, sharing the No. 59 Vantage with 2024 D'Station WEC drivers Erwan Bastard and Clément Mateu.
