Biography
Georges Berger was born in Sint-Jans-Molenbeek on 14 September 1918. In the 1950s he first competed in Formula 2 with a BMW-powered Jicey and took third place in the Grand Prix des Frontières at Chimay. In 1953 he drove for Simca-Gordini and finished fifth at the same circuit. He took the same car to the Belgian Grand Prix, but retired after three laps with engine failure. In 1954 he raced a Gordini at Reims-Gueux, where the engine failed again after ten laps. That made two World Championship starts, and after that he largely stepped away from single-seater racing.
In 1960 he shared the winning Ferrari at the Tour de France Automobile. He died on 23 August 1967 while racing a Porsche 911 in the 84-hour Marathon de la Route at the Nürburgring.
