SOFTSWISS celebrates a major milestone in its collaboration with rising Brazilian driver Eduardo (Dudu) Barrichello. The talented motorsport star has successfully completed his debut at the legendary 24 Hours of Le Mans, a pivotal round in the ongoing 2025 FIA World Endurance Championship (WEC).

Held from 15 to 16 June at the historic Circuit de la Sarthe in Le Mans, France, the 24-hour endurance race is one of the most prestigious events in global motorsport. First run in 1923, it forms part of the coveted Triple Crown of Motorsport, alongside the Monaco Grand Prix and the Indianapolis 500. The race challenges every aspect of a driver’s performance, combining speed, consistency, and strategic depth – values that closely reflect the approach SOFTSWISS brings to its own operations in the highly competitive iGaming industry.

At just 23 years old, Eduardo Barrichello added this legendary event to his growing international racing résumé, competing with the Racing Spirit of Léman team in an Aston Martin Vantage AMR GT3 Evo. His performance at Le Mans represents not only a personal career achievement but also a proud moment for Brazilian motorsport and a significant chapter in his WEC journey.

“Le Mans isn’t just another race – it’s the kind of challenge you grow up dreaming about. Representing Brazil on this stage is a huge honour, and stepping onto that track for the first time is a defining moment in my career. Endurance racing pushes you beyond your limits – physically, mentally, and technically. Having SOFTSWISS as a partner for the entire WEC series this year means a lot,” Eduardo comments.

The collaboration between SOFTSWISS and Eduardo Barrichello builds upon the company’s long-term commitment to performance, innovation, and operational excellence. It extends a relationship with the Barrichello family, which began in 2024 when Rubens Barrichello, Formula 1 legend and Eduardo’s father, was appointed Non-Executive Director in Latin America at SOFTSWISS.

“In motorsport, milliseconds can define outcomes; in iGaming, it’s responsiveness, stability, and foresight that define leadership. At SOFTSWISS, we embrace this mindset – continuously optimising our solutions, anticipating market shifts, and pushing the boundaries of technology. Like a Le Mans team, we race through every 24 hours with unwavering resilience – only our race never ends. Our systems are built to deliver flawless performance, every day, hour after hour, without pause,” highlights Ivan Montik, Founder of SOFTSWISS.

As part of its presence at Le Mans, SOFTSWISS also welcomed a group of partners and guests to experience the race firsthand. The programme included VIP lounge access, helicopter flights over the circuit, access to exclusive camera-only track zones, paddock entry, and hot laps in a real race car. Guests also enjoyed conversations with Rubens and Eduardo Barrichello, creating a unique opportunity to connect motorsport, technology, and partnership in an unforgettable setting.

Earlier this year, SOFTSWISS announced its broad partnership with the rising motorsport talent for the 2025 FIA World Endurance Championship (WEC).
