Jean Behra was born in Nice, 16 February 1921, and died in a sports car race at Avus on 1st August, 1959.
Although he did not win a single GP from 52 starts he nevertheless had 21 point scoring finishes, including 2 second places, and came 4th in the 1956 World Championship.
In the World Sports Car Championship, he won at Nurburgring (1956 - in a Maserati, he shared with Moss, I seem to recall), the Sebring 12 hours and the Swedish GP, both in 1957.
