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…
