Esteban Masson was born in France and grew up in a family that was connected to motorsport from an early age. Like many of his generation, his career began in karting, where as a child he quickly gained experience in competition and soon stood out for his fine feel for vehicle balance. These early years on the karting track laid the foundation for a career that would take him through the classic junior series all the way to the FIA World Endurance Championship for prototypes.
After karting, Masson completed the usual stages of Formula and GT junior racing before making the leap to GT3 vehicles. There he was able to assert himself in a dense competitive environment and gathered important experience in international racing series, which eventually opened the door to the FIA WEC for him. The transition from the junior ranks to the world endurance championship marked a decisive step in his sporting development and showed that he can also consistently deliver performance under the increased pressure of international top-tier series.
Among his career’s greatest achievements so far are several podium finishes and strong overall results in his FIA WEC campaigns, in which he established himself as a reliable and quick driver across different team constellations. These results underscored his reputation as a versatile driver who can convince in both the GT3 sector and in the prototype classes of the world endurance championship, and helped him establish himself permanently in international sports car racing.
In the 2026 season, Esteban Masson is set to compete in the FIA WEC again and wants to build on his previous successes. His goal for the upcoming campaign is to further profile himself in the tight class field and regularly fight for podium positions. For fans and observers of the scene, Masson remains one of the names to watch in the new WEC season when it comes to consistent performance and possible surprises in the fight for top positions.
