Georges Berger
Georges Berger (14 September 1918 – 23 August 1967) 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 (a 1.5-litre 4 cylinder Gordini type 15) 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.
