Mathys Jaubert was born in Lyon and grew up in a family that has always been close to motorsport. He sat in a kart for the first time as a child, and it quickly became clear that this would be more than just a hobby. Over several years, he honed his driving style on the karting tracks around Lyon before moving into formula series and laying the foundation for his later career in endurance and GT racing.
His path through the junior categories led Jaubert consistently upward. After early success in formula racing, he switched to GT3 vehicles, where he had to hold his own in a crowded field of international talent. The combination of racecraft, technical understanding, and the ability to quickly achieve competitive lap times in different cars eventually opened the door to the FIA WEC, where he was able to establish himself as a factory driver.
Jaubert’s greatest career successes came primarily in the GT3 environment, where he made a name for himself with strong results in several international championships. His entry into the FIA WEC in particular marked a turning point, as he competed regularly against the established world-class drivers in endurance racing for the first time and increasingly established himself as a consistent factor in this environment. This development made him a sought-after driver for teams with ambitious goals in the prototype and GT segments.
In the 2026 season, Mathys Jaubert competes for his current WEC team, with the exact vehicle category and his teammates varying depending on the entry list. His stated goal is to build on the consistent performances of previous years and regularly position the car in the points and on the podium. For Jaubert, who has continuously developed in recent years, the new season is all about consistency, experience, and the next step toward the absolute top of the FIA WEC.
