Eric Swerts
Eric Swerts (born 26 November, 1991 in Namur, Belgium) is a Belgian racing driver. He competed for Gillet Ecurie Nationale Belge in the 2017 season of the F1RWRS, and raced in the F2RWRS and F3RWRS feeder categories in earlier years. He won two races in F3RWRS, including the Surfers SuperPrix in 2015, earning him the Tom Walkinshaw Memorial Trophy.
Having failed to secure a drive in 2018, Eric switched his focus to the rapidly expanding rallycross scene and entered an Opel Manta 400 in the privateer class of the 2018 Group B RallyCross Championship season for selected races.
