Georges Berger
Georges Berger (born 14 September 1918 in Sint-Jans-Molenbeek, died 23 August 1967 at the Nürburgring) was a Belgian racing driver. Most often a privateer who competed in Formula 2 and sportscars, he briefly drove in Formula One for Ecurie Nationale Belge along with most Belgian drivers of the time. He failed to prequalify for the 1953 Dutch Grand Prix. He was also, with Toni Branca and Johnny Claes, one of the drivers who attracted sponsorship and other attentions from the Vicomtesse de Walckiers. A successful driver in rallies and touring cars, he was killed in an accident in the 1967 Marathon de la Route when his car dug into a ravine and burst into flames. He was 48 years old.
