WEC Full Access: Unmasked takes a look back over a captivating campaign in the FIA World Endurance Championship in 2025, intimately capturing all the bits you didn’t see – and it’s now available to watch on the series’ YouTube channel.
Offering fans a fascinating insight into the stars of the show, WEC Full Access covers everything from team briefings to animated mid-race discussions. It is the ultimate behind-the-scenes series, documenting the most private areas of the FIA WEC paddock.
Shining a spotlight on the human aspect of the sport and the emotions so indissociable from the heat of battle, WEC Full Access: Unmasked travels the world from Lusail to Le Mans and Spa-Francorchamps to São Paulo, vividly recalling each race through the eyes of those who lived them most viscerally.
Alex Riberas reflects upon the Aston Martin Valkyrie’s troubled series debut in Qatar, and the blood, sweat and tears poured into the development of a car that – come the season finale in Bahrain – was able to snatch the lead on pure pace.
Experienced BMW ace René Rast and young Peugeot rookie Malthe Jakobsen mull over the close-quarters competition at Spa – widely regarded as one of the most exciting races in FIA WEC history – while Alex Lynn talks through what it meant to achieve pole position for the legendary 24 Hours of Le Mans, on the 75th anniversary of Cadillac’s maiden appearance at La Sarthe.
Kévin Estre re-lives his extraordinary opening laps in the twice-round-the-clock contest – and the disappointment of ultimately falling barely 14 seconds shy of victory in an event that continues to elude him – as Porsche stablemate Julien Andlauer expresses his conviction that the German marque has ‘unfinished’ business in the championship and that there remains ‘a long way to go’.
Porsche’s frustration at Le Mans was contrasted by Ferrari’s joy, as Phil Hanson, Robert Kubica and Yifei Ye extended the 499P’s winning run, with the latter pair finally completing the last lap they had begun four years earlier.
Emotions similarly overflowed at Interlagos, as Eduardo ‘Dudu’ Barrichello and his father Rubens remember what the former describes as the ‘greatest moment’ of his life – one that still gives him ‘goosebumps’ to this day – while there were vastly differing fortunes at Fuji, where Toyota was left to rue a missed opportunity on home soil and Alpine conversely produced a peak performance.
Nyck de Vries talks about the Japanese manufacturer’s determination to fight back – with a significantly upgraded car recently unveiled for 2026 – while Paul-Loup Chatin lifts the lid on Les Bleus’ audacious roll of the dice in FIA WEC’s milestone 100th race and explains the personal sacrifices that come with doing ‘the best job in the world’.
Manthey veteran Richard Lietz, meanwhile, clinched a second career crown in Bahrain. The Austrian reveals what keeps him motivated after an almost 20-year career in endurance racing, with 2014 world champion-turned-official series commentator Anthony Davidson adding his own expert analysis throughout the episode.
To borrow Riberas’ words, ‘this is the special stuff’. Enjoy!
