Éric Cayrolle (born 27 August 1962 in Pau) is a French auto racing driver.[1]
He is a three-time champion of the French Supertouring Championship, winning for three consecutive years between 1996 and 1998. Prior to this he competed in Formula Renault and Formula Three in his native country. After his success in the French Supertouring Championship he moved to the European series in 2001, which became the European Touring Car Championship the following year. Since then he has also competed in the French GT Championship.[2]
He made a brief return to touring cars in 2009, competing in the two rounds of the FIA World Touring Car Championship at his home town of Pau. He drove a SEAT León for SUNRED Engineering, winning the Independent's category in the second race despite having an accident while leading the class with one lap to go. He crashed in to the barriers and was clipped by the Chevrolet CruzeofNicola Larini, bringing out the red flag for the second-time in the race. However, the race results were determined by the positions on the previous lap and Cayrolle finished the race eighth overall and winner of the independent's category.[3]
