Eric Camilli (born 6 September 1987) is a French rally driver.[1] He has competed in the World Rally Championship since 2014. After starting out in the lower levels, he made his debut in the top level in 2016 while driving for M-Sport in a Ford Fiesta RS WRC.

Rally career

Camilli signed for Malcolm Wilson's M-Sport ahead of the 2016 season, after a season in WRC-2.[2] His best result of the season was fifth place which he achieved at the 2016 Rally de Portugal. He finished the season in eleventh place with 28 points.

After M-Sport signed fellow frenchman and reigning champion Sébastien Ogier at the end of 2016 to tackle the 2017 season, Camilli was demoted to drive in WRC-2 with M-Sport for the year.[3] He won the WRC-2 class in Germany and finished the campaign in second place. Camilli was retained by M-Sport in the WRC-2 for 2018.

Camilli will debut the Volkswagen Polo GTI R5 with a one-off appearance with Volkswagen Motorsport at the 2018 Rally Catalunya.[4]
