Bertrand Gachot
born 23 Dec 1962 · raced 1989–1995
Bertrand Gachot, a French-Belgian driver, is perhaps best known for the circumstances surrounding his 1991 season. His time at Jordan was interrupted when he was imprisoned in the UK after a road incident, leading to his replacement at the Belgian Grand Prix by a young Michael Schumacher. Despite this setback, Gachot competed in 47 Grands Prix, showcasing his talent in various midfield teams. He later found success in endurance racing, including a win at the 1991 24 Hours of Le Mans with Mazda.
