Profile:
A long-time fixture in sports car racing and historic motorsport, Eric de Doncker has kept an interest in the NASCAR Whelen Euro Series since the Racecar Euro Series days. Following an one-off attempt in 2011, de Doncker and his team Motorsport 98 joined the series in 2015 to become a full-time contender in both classes. His debut year was his most successful one as he was able to finish 8th in the overall Elite 2 standings that year, winning the Legend Trophy honors in the process.
He competed part-time for three more seasons, amassing a total 40 starts across both divisions coming to the start of the 2019 season. De Doncker was one of the more experienced drivers in the grid on his final year in the championship before he left the series to continue his sports car adventure in Michelin Le Mans Cup’s LMP3 Class.
