Maurice Trintignant - did he ever fire up

Was there ever a race in which he tigered, throwing caution to the winds and drove out of character, faster than his usual level?
How did his lap times compare to Gonzalez, Le Mans 54? Was this an instance?
(And how did he get on with Behra?).

Stirling and Phil are the only other members.
And they're all still with us...

Maybe after that he saw he could have a nice life without risking too much.
But he could still battle with the best of them when he wanted to, eg at Pau

Last year, I had heard he wasn't in good health but I was suprised to hear him on the speakers at LM Classic this year with Phil Hill and he sounded well.
He's one of my favorite drivers with Behra, Manzon and the other ones because of Gordini but I'm a bit biased ;)

I have received a short letter from Maurice about three months ago. He seems fine, but apologised for not replying any sooner blaming it on "old age and some other factors outside his control".

Yes, he has had two close family beverements in the last year, sadly. He's okay, perfectly healthy, just a bit frail, that's all.

Is Maurice related to the actor Jean-Louis, who starred in "Un Homme et une Femme" and dabbled in serious competition?
