U.S.-flagged Aston Martin customer The Heart of Racing has finalized its 2025 FIA WEC LMGT3 driver lineup, signing Zacharie Robichon and Mattia Drudi to join team principal Ian James in their Evo-spec Vantage campaign.

Robichon, the 2021 IMSA WeatherTech GTD champion, returns to Heart of Racing after competing with them in IMSA's GTD class during 2024. The Canadian driver, who previously raced with Proton Competition's Ford Mustang in FIA WEC, has already participated in the 24 Hours of Dubai, Rolex 24 At Daytona, and Bathurst 12 Hour with the team.

Drudi, making his WEC debut, joins fresh off his victory at the Centenary edition of the Spa 24 Hours with Aston Martin. The Italian driver recently competed with The Heart of Racing at the 2025 Rolex 24 At Daytona.

Team principal Ian James returns for his third WEC year, building on a successful 2024 season where he achieved the team's first WEC pole position and victory at Lone Star Le Mans at CoTA, along with podium finishes at Qatar and Sao Paulo.

The new lineup combines Robichon's proven Silver-rated expertise, Drudi's race-winning experience, and James's consistent performance as one of the quickest Bronze-rated drivers. The team will begin their 2025 campaign at the Qatar season prologue on February 20th, followed by the Qatar 1812km on February 28th.
