Georges Berger


Georges Berger was a racing driver who raced a Gordini in his two World Championship Formula One Grands Prix.
Berger initially competed during the 1950s in a Formula 2 BMW-engined Jicey with which he finished third in the Grand Prix [des Frontières] at Chimay. In 1953 he raced for the Simca-Gordini team and finished fifth at the same track. He entered the same car in the Belgian Grand Prix but retired after only three laps with engine failure. The following year he raced a Gordini at Reims-Gueux but the engine died again on lap 10. After this, he faded from single-seater racing.
Later in his career, Berger shared the winning Ferrari at the 1960 Tour de France automobile. He was killed racing a Porsche 911 in the 1967 84-hour Marathon de la Route at Nürburgring.
