Michel Leclère


Michel Leclère is a former motor racing driver from France. He competed in eight Formula One Grands Prix, making his debut on October 5, 1975. However, he did not score any championship points during his career in Formula One.

Career

After winning the French Formula 3 championship, driving for Alpine, in 1972, Leclère performed well in Formula 2. This earned him his chance in Formula One. After making his debut for Tyrrell at the last race of the season he landed a full-time drive with Wolf–Williams Racing in. The relationship was not a success, however, and he returned to Formula 2. After a bad season with Kauhsen in 1977, he retired.
Leclère has recently been involved with the Renault H&C Classic Team and has demonstrated and raced some of the historic Formula One cars and other machinery in their keeping, at various events around Europe.
