After 2 seperate European Formula Two stints (in 1970-1972 and in 1976-1977), in which he gained a reputation for being an excellent qualifier and a very aggressive driver, although he had tendencies to randomly alternate his pace in races and was notorious for having large accidents, he was initially signed by the financially troubled [[Shadow Racing Team]] for an F1 seat in [[1978 Alternate Formula One season|1978]], with him also driving for [[North Star Racing]] at the [[Belgian Grand Prix]], where Shadow were not participating and North Star's existing driver [[Anton Roche]] was already contracted to [[Ligier]] for that race. He raced under a Belgian license due to the FFSA giving him a permanent ban from competing with a French one due to participating at the 1969 24 Hours of Le Mans race underage, being just 17 years old, and then causing a large pileup during the race, killing a fellow driver, which was enough for them to ban him. He later founded both the Bachot Grand Prix and the [[Benetton International Motorsports|GB Racing]] teams.
