A racing driver and executive, this HEC graduate demonstrated his immense talents in every field. President of the FFSA from 1968 to 1974, Bernard Consten organised the Tour de France Auto from 1968 to 1980, an event in which he holds the record for the most victories (5). His long career as a rally driver was crowned by four national titles won between 1958 and 1967 and by numerous victories, including two Coupe des Alpes, the Rallye d’Allemagne, the Marathon de la Route – alongside his cousin Jean Hébert – and the Rallye du Bandama. A recognised expert in the motoring world and a friend of Bernard Consten, Hervé Charbonneaux has gathered valuable accounts from drivers (Jean Vinatier, Jean-Pierre Nicolas…) and from those close to Bernard Consten, starting with Pépé – his wife – and his children. Furthermore, following painstaking research, the author reviews every race contested by BC, illustrating them extensively.

This book is aimed at enthusiasts of motor racing history, particularly rallying; those nostalgic for motorsport from the 1950s, 1960s and 1970s; and, of course, admirers of Alfa Romeo, Ferrari, FIAT-Abarth, Jaguar, Aston Martin, Triumph, MG, Lotus, Land Rover, Ford, Porsche, DKW, Panhard, Renault, Alpine, Citroën, Peugeot, D.B. and René-Bonnet. Quite a line-up, wouldn’t you say…

madeleines for racing history buffs. In June 1967, the program was spectacular, featuring the
final edition of the 12 Hours of Reims, the French F2 trophies, the F3 International Cup, and
the Gordini Cup. Clark, Rindt, Stewart, Brabham, Beltoise, Surtees, Schlesser, Hulme, Siffert,
and Ickx were all present for this prestigious weekend at the Reims circuit, one of the fastest
in the world in terms of average speed. See them now.

The paths of life are very complex. They are tortuous, ramified; important sections are erased forever, and one will not be surprised if the course proposed here is full of pitfalls and uncertainties. To present a subject of such magnitude in such a slim book would be a challenge if we had not committed ourselves to a strict selection of the examples studied and to simplifying the proposed interpretations as much as possible. For this book has no other claim than to be an invitation to the study of biological evolution.

Referenced by the Cité des Sciences et de l'Industrie, this book was the subject of a very favorable review by Jean-Louis Borie in the journal Biologie-Géologie (n°2-1994).

Lancia Stratos... The mere mention of this name awakens in us feelings of excitement and passion. Erik Comas, the Formula 1 driver reconverted to historic rallies, gave his insight on this mythical sports car that he knows perfectly. He is also the one who mediated Dominique Vincent's approach to all those who have written the most beautiful pages of the history of this icon of motor racing.

Foreword by Erik Comas and introduction by Cesare Fiorio.

Niki Lauda died on May 20, 2019. Three-time Formula One World Champion, the Austrian racer left an indelible mark on the imagination of racing enthusiasts, who have forgotten neither his terrible accident on the Nürburgring, nor his sporting rivalry with James Hunt, then later with Alain Prost. Based on a particularly rich and original iconography and testimonies of people who knew him, Dominique Vincent invites us to follow his itinerary as a driver from the end of the 60s, the least known, to the mid-80s.
