 is a contestant from Australian Survivor: Hauraki Gulf.

Profile
Name (Age): Eric Bartlett (59)

Occupation: Retired Motor Racer

Current Residence: Bathurst, NSW

Bio: Residing in Bathurst, Eric was a decorated Australian driver spanning 30 years, winning an overloaded handful of automobile races, the most notable including four Bathurst 1000 Endurance races, three Sandown 500 touring car races, two Australian Touring Car Championships, and a Bathurst 24 Hour endurance race in 2003. However, following an infamous crash incident on the 1st of November in 2015, Eric had chosen to leave the sport he loved for the sake of his family that day, infamously walking to the finish line for his last hurrah with a standing ovation from the crowd. Aside from his love of racing, Eric does his best to keep up with the modern day, sharing similar interests with his younger children in Alan and Denise. A role model among many, Eric has lived a relatively great life with his wife Jane and his family, and has inspired plenty of people with his positive outlook on life. That said, Eric has been wanting to rediscover the same passion in his life that he did back in the day, feeling that retirement just isn’t justice for a battle-hardened warrior like himself, so he logically chose to sign up for Survivor to reinvigorate his outlook on life.

With many people knowing his name, Eric has opted not to lie about himself, and play the game of Survivor his own way. By that, he means to be a capable leader for his castaways, by doing everything that he can to moralise the tribe with his respectable work ethic. However, his age and somewhat average strength could make him an unfortunate liability to his tribe, though his social game and strategy could get him through to the finish line of the endurance game known as Survivor.
