Career

Early career

A winner of numerous karting championships, Vervisch moved to auto racing in 2003 making a single start in the Formula Three French Cup and immediately won upon his debut. Following that initial success, he participated in the entire 2004 Formula Three French Cup championship and finished runner-up.

Formula Renault

In 2005, Vervisch moved to the Formula Renault 3.5 series, participating with GD Racing in four rounds with a best result of 12th in Zolder in a race won by Robert Kubica. The season ended after round 4 in Le Mans when it became clear that his sponsor Kizz-Me was not fulfilling its financial obligations,[4] a fraud that the same company committed again against a WRC driver and his team in 2006.[5]

In 2006, the 19-year-old Vervisch took a step back and competed full-time in Formula Renault 2.0 Northern European Cup with SL Formula Racing, finishing 9th in points and scoring a season-best fifth place at the Anderstorp round.[citation needed]

Formula Three

In 2007, Vervisch moved to the German Formula Three Championship with JB Motorsport and finished runner-up to Carlo van Dam, taking four wins and eleven podiums.[citation needed]

That winter, Vervisch entered the Asian F3 Championship with Team Goddard, winning the title with eleven victories.[citation needed]

In 2008, Vervisch returned to German F3 with Swiss Racing Team; he switched to Jo Zeller Racing mid-season and won the championship with seven race wins.[citation needed]

In 2010, Vervisch decided to go back to Europe and race with RC Motorsport in the Italian F3 Championship.[6] He scored a season-best third-place finish at Imola but left the championship at the next round in Mugello after having suffered two engine failures before even the start of the first race, and the subsequent team decision to withdraw from the race.[7]

Atlantic Championship

In 2009 after having won the 2008 German F3 title, Vervisch moved to the United States where he competed in the Atlantic Championship for Genoa Racing.[8] He finished fourth in the championship standings with four podium finishes and grabbed the Rookie of the Year title.[9]

Superleague Formula

On 5 September 2010, Vervisch made his debut in Superleague Formula after receiving an invitation by Atech-Reid to drive the Liverpool FC car at the Adria round. In the race, he overtook his teammate Yelmer Buurman and Robert Doornbos, and secured a slot in the Super Final.[10] Vervisch continued his successful series debut at the next round in Portimão where he was crowned the overall weekend winner in the Super Final.[11][12] He took his pace to the inaugural Superleague Formula China rounds in Ordos where he first suffered an engine failure in race 1 but then recovered with a victory in race 2[13][14] and in the streets of Beijing where Vervisch scored a double podium finish – in race 1 and then the overall third spot for the weekend.[15][16][17] At the final round of the Superleague Formula season in Navarra Vervisch didn't reach the finish line due to mechanical failures in both races.[18]

Veranstaltergemeinschaft Langstreckenmeisterschaft Nürburgring (VLN)

On 20–23 June 2019, Vervisch won the 24 Hours of the Nürburgring for Phoenix Racing in an Audi R8 LMS (GT3), sharing with Dries Vanthoor, Pierre Kaffer and Frank Stippler.
