Eric Powell is an entry-level professional competing in national multiclass endurance racing, where amateurs and semi-professionals share circuits with graded professionals. He races in the IMSA Pilot Challenge TCR class for Victor Gonzalez Racing Team, the GT World Challenge America Am class in GT3 machinery for Dollahite Racing, and most recently the Zenith Racing Series for Bruce Innovations. He holds an FIA Bronze grade, the amateur classification in sportscar racing that typically sits alongside professionals in shared-car endurance grids.[1]
Powell's record spans six indexed seasons from 2015 to 2026, beginning with club-level Mazda Miata racing. His breakthrough came in 2025, when he took two wins and four podiums across ten IMSA Pilot Challenge starts and added three wins and six podiums in six GT World Challenge America rounds, establishing himself as a consistent front-runner in his classes. He has nine wins and eighteen podiums from forty-seven starts across all series. In the current Zenith Racing Series season, he leads his championship hunt from two wins and three podiums across the six rounds raced so far and sits tenth in the points.[2]
Powell typically finishes behind regular opponents Gray Newell and Curt Swearingin, both FIA Bronze professionals with deeper experience in GT and touring-car racing; Swearingin is the 2024 GT4 America Pro-Am champion. He has finished ahead of established professionals including Ayhancan Güven, the 2025 DTM champion, and Jonny Edgar, a Formula 3 and European Le Mans Series LMP2 champion, though these remain isolated results against much stronger drivers. His progression from club racing to international endurance grids reflects steady advancement within amateur and semi-professional ranks.
