Auguste Georges Paul Grignard (born July 25, 1905 in Villeneuve-Saint-Georges , † December 7, 1977 in Port-Marly ) was a French racing driver .

Career

Georges Grignard began his career as a rally driver in the 1920s . In 1928 and 1929 he took part in the Monte Carlo Rally . Until the outbreak of the Second World War , he continued to drive rallies and sports car races in his home country, France, and built up a middle-class foothold as the owner of a car repair shop.

After the war he bought a Delahaye and drove it back to sports car races. In 1949 he bought a Talbot with which he entered the monoposto scene. In the same year he finished third at the Pau Grand Prix and started in 1951 with the car at the Spanish Grand Prix where he had to give up prematurely with an overheated engine.

Grignard wasn't a really fast driver, but he raced with great enthusiasm and was always interested in technology. In 1955 he retired from active racing and devoted himself entirely to his workshop. He remained loyal to the Talbot brand and was one of the most important Talbot parts dealers for historic vehicles worldwide until his death in 1977.
