SOFTSWISS, a global technology provider for the iGaming industry, announces its partnership with rising motorsport talent Eduardo (Dudu) Barrichello for the 2025 FIA World Endurance Championship (WEC). Barrichello, part of the Racing Spirit of Leman team, will drive an Aston Martin Vantage AMR GT3 Evo.

This partnership continues SOFTSWISS’ ongoing collaboration with the Barrichello family, which began with the last-year appointment of F1 legend Rubens Barrichello as the company’s Non-Executive Director in Latin America. Now, SOFTSWISS supports the next generation of racing talent by sponsoring Eduardo for the challenging series of endurance events.

Valentina Bagniya, CMO at SOFTSWISS, comments: “Whether on the track or in the world of technology, success is driven by speed, precision, and teamwork. That’s why we are thrilled to partner with Eduardo Barrichello in the WEC. Building on our cooperation with Rubens Barrichello, we’re now backing a promising new racer who embodies the same competitive spirit. We can’t wait to see Eduardo take on some of the world’s most iconic tracks, and we look forward to cheering him on as he pursues success in this prestigious championship.”

The SOFTSWISS brand will be showcased on Eduardo’s suit, cap, and the car itself.

Eduardo Barrichello adds: “Racing in the FIA World Endurance Championship demands total concentration, strategic thinking, and a strong team around you. I’m really excited to represent SOFTSWISS, a company which shares the same mindset in the world of technology solutions. It’s an honour to continue the Barrichello legacy in motorsport while forging my own path with this incredible partner on board.”

The FIA World Endurance Championship is a globally recognised motorsport competition that tests the limits of both drivers and cars. The WEC’s calendar includes events on legendary circuits across the globe – none more prestigious than the 24 Hours of Le Mans, the world’s oldest active endurance race. Held annually since 1923, it’s a pinnacle of endurance racing, drawing top drivers and elite teams from around the world.

The WEC season kicks off on 28 February and features eight iconic events, including, among others, the Rolex 6 Hours of São Paulo and the 6 Hours of Fuji.

Bacta commissioned research shows huge support for seaside arcades led by Gen Z

The findings of independent research conducted by Censuswide among a sample of 2,000 UK Nationally representative respondents aged 16+ shows that Generation Z has fallen in love with the seaside arcades so popular with their grandparents. 

The research reveals that 8 in 10 respondents (81 percent) view seaside arcades as being part of British culture and it is young Brits that are banging the drum for arcades, with 90 percent of 25–34-year-olds backing their importance.

Despite overwhelming public support from Britain’s younger generations, seaside arcades continue to face a perfect storm of challenges from rising energy and staffing costs, plus the threat of increased taxation as suggested by former Prime Minister Gordon Brown.

72 percent say Government should do more to protect them – with 86 percent of those aged 25-34-years calling for urgent action.

The research findings confirm the central role played by seaside arcades with 72 percent of adults saying they would visit an arcade on a trip to the seaside a figure that rises to 91 percent for 24-34-year-olds.

In terms of providing accessible entertainment 55 percent say that arcades offer great value for money, making them the UK’s most affordable family day out. As a result, 84 percent confirmed they have enjoyed arcades with multiple generations of their family.

The importance of contributions to local economies featured highly in the research paper with 7 in 10 stating that arcades play a key role in regenerating seaside towns, a figure that rises to 85 percent of 18-24-year-olds.

Reflecting on the research findings Joseph Cullis, President of UK trade association, Bacta said: “Britain’s seaside arcades are a vital element of our proud tourism industry, a modern cultural icon, and have been a fun family activity for more than a century.

“It’s brilliant but not surprising to see young people are embracing them with all the enthusiasm of their parents, grandparents and great-grandparents before them.

“At Bacta, we’re fighting to protect our seaside arcades from the threats of rising costs and from those who want to tax them out of existence. We hope that local councillors, MPs and the Treasury will heed the wants and needs of the British people and protect these vital institutions.”

Elliot Ball, who co-owns and runs Clacton Pier with his brother Billy, said other attractions would be at risk if arcades were taxed even more.

“I’m the fifth generation of my family – on both sides – involved in amusement arcades so this is a labour of love” he stated.

“But the threat from the government to raise gambling tax would put at risk a traditional family day out to the seaside. Trips here have been making memories for generations, and it’s great that younger people are finding the same safe, harmless fun on the pier that has been raising a smile and lighting up eyes for years and years.

“We’ve bounced back from the pandemic and the rise of staycations helps, but many of Britain’s most beloved seaside attractions will be put at high risk if gambling taxes rise.”
