The Last Lap

Born in Nazi-occupied Paris on February 25th 1944, Francois Cevert ventured into motor racing as soon as he completed National Service, and after a successful stint at the Winfield Racing School, he was handed a scholarship, which was a Formula 3 seat. From there this modern renaissance man climbed the motorsport ladder to become Jackie Stewart's heir apparent. Motorsport Week has a poignant look back on the life and death of Francois Cevert.

To your success on track and off!
