Michel Ferté
Reports are coming in of the passing of Michel Ferté at the young age of 64, a former champion in F2 and F3 and latterly a sportscar driver. He finished second at Le Mans in 1991 in a Jaguar with Davy Jones and Raul Boesel.
RIP Michel. |

Oh no, that’s sad. Him and his brother Alain were both great talents. I know Michel was Ligier test driver one time
64 is no age to go |

Yes I saw that, news of the Frenchman’s death was announced on Wednesday by Le Mans organiser the Automobile Club de l’Ouest, though no cause of death was given.

I also have a recollection that he lost his young son early in this century when the child drowned, so sad. |

Rest in peace. A top driver I remember watching in F3000 - always quick and very exciting.
