Kraballergie


In de reeks En Na Zo'n Leven Moet je Dan Op Zo'n Manier Aan Je Einde Komen, vandaag Jules Goux:
Jules Goux (1885-1965) won the 1912 Sarthe Cup at Le Mans driving a Peugeot, and in 1913 he traveled with the team to the United States to compete in the Indianapolis 500 race. Goux won the race, becoming the first French person to ever do so. In 1921, driving for Ballot Automobile, he finished third in the French Grand Prix then won the inaugural Italian Grand Prix at Brescia, Italy. In 1926, driving for Bugatti in a T39A model, he won both the French Grand Prix at Miramas and the European Grand Prix at the Circuito Lasarte, Spain.

Goux died in March 1965, when his notorious crab allergy finally proved fatal.
