Career
Bruno Besson began his karting career in 1990 . He was French champion several times in various formulas and only switched to the French Formula Renault series late - after almost six years in kart racing . From 1997 he competed in races in this formula and won the European Championship in 1998. The change to Formula 3 was seamless. First in the French championship on Dallara , from 2001 active in the European championship, he was able to celebrate some successes. In 2001 he was third in the championship, a success that he was able to confirm in 2002 with fifth place overall.
After a year in the Formula Nissan became the single-seater -Career to a halt.
The lack of sponsorship money had a negative impact and he had to look elsewhere for a free cockpit. He found a new field of activity in sports cars and has been driving regularly in the FIA GT Championship since 2004 . In the same year he made his debut at the Le Mans 24 Hours on a Reynard , but retired at halftime with engine failure. In 2007 he reached 26th place overall with team partners Jonathan Cochet and Alexander Frei on a Courage LC70-Aer and thus saw the checkered flag.
