Maurice Nussbaumer
Maurice Nussbaumer (also Maurice Nusbaumer , born January 25, 1935 , † May 17, 1981 ) is a former French rally and circuit racing driver .
Career
Maurice Nussbaumer was one of the first French racing drivers to use the small but agile Alpine A110 , which Jean Rédélé produced in his factory in Dieppe , in circuit races. At the end of the 1960s, he contested the French touring car championship with this car. In 1968 he also competed in the Le Mans 24-hour race with the A110 for the Ecurie Léopard . Together with Joseph Bourdon and Michel Pouteaux , he took turns at the wheel. The 215 laps driven were not enough to be counted. In 1971 he was again registered in Le Mans, but this time failed with the Alpine in the qualification.
In 1975 he finished fourth in the overall ranking of the Tour de France for automobiles - still on the road with an Alpine A110 . On May 16, 1981, his Renault Alpine A310 caught fire at the Rallye de la Baule ; Nussbaumer succumbed to his injuries the following day.
