Erwan Bastard

The 2018 season saw Bastard stepping up to car racing, teaming up with Pierre-André Nicolas at the FOXO team in the Porsche Club Motorsport France championship.[5] Driving in a Porsche 718 Cayman GT4, the pair took four podiums over the course of the season and ended up second in the standings.[4]

Bastard moved to the French GT4 Cup in 2019, where he joined Schatz Lestienne Racing.[6] After a pair of retirements at the season opener in Nogaro, one of which was caused by Bastard after going off into the gravel during Race 1, the Frenchman and his teammate Sylvain Caroff were reallocated from the Pro-Am to the Am category for the remainder of the season.[7] The pairing experienced a positive season, taking five class podiums, including pairs at Lédenon and Magny-Cours respectively, which elevated Bastard to fourth in the drivers' championship.[8]

At the end of the year, Bastard took part in the TTE Endurance at the Circuit de la Sarthe, where he finished third.[9]

ANS Motorsport would be the team Bastard moved to for another assault at the French GT4 Cup in 2020, as he and Caroff returned to the Am class in a Ginetta G55 GT4.[10][11] The season began positively, as Bastard took his first victory in the series at the season opener in Nogaro and followed that up with a subsequent victory at Magny-Cours, taking the team to the front of the standings.[12][13] Another win at the Circuit d'Albi coupled with four podiums at the two rounds in Le Castellet brought the outfit into title contention, however they would be forced to settle for third overall at the conclusion of the campaign.[14][15]

For 2021, Bastard moved up to the Silver category, driving for TGR CMR alongside Antoine Potty.[16] Despite taking seven podiums, including five from the final five races, Bastard and Potty were unable to get embroiled in the championship fight, eventually landing fourth in the standings.[17]

Pairing up with Roee Meyuhas at Saintéloc Racing, Bastard partook in a double campaign during the 2022 season, driving an Audi R8 LMS GT4 Evo in the GT4 European Series and French GT4 Cup.[18] The pair would control the latter championship, scoring four victories and securing the title with one round remaining.[19] At the same time, Bastard and Meyuhas managed to narrowly beat the duo of Lluc Ibáñez and Enzo Joulié in the European Series, with a race-winning overtake at Spa-Francorchamps and a dominant drive at Hockenheim being a pair of standout performances from the Frenchman.[20][21]

At the end of 2022, Bastard joined Christopher Haase and Patric Niederhauser at Saintéloc, competing at the Gulf 12 Hours with an Audi R8 LMS Evo II.[22] Having managed to evade mistakes throughout the event, the French driver contributed to a podium finish for the squad, a third place that Bastard called "unbelievable".[23]

Bastard remained with Saintéloc in 2023, partnering Patric Niederhauser in the GT World Challenge Europe Sprint Cup and being part of the team's Silver Cup line-up in the Endurance Cup alongside Grégoire Demoustier and Paul Evrard.[24]
