I have a simple question for you! Can one help me to check out the photo who the guy between Depailler and Jassaud is?

p34,
I would go for Bob Wollek, 'though I don't know for sure.
Carles.

?Bernard Fiorentino, entered in the Cevert/Beltoise/Pescarolo car, but did not start.
The others? I'd say Depailler, Fiorentino, Jaussaud, Larrousse, Marcel Chassagny, Beltoise, Jabouille, Cevert and Pescarolo.

swintex,

Carles.

I think Carles is correct: this guy is Bob Wollek.
I think that is the Matra Sport equipe for Le Mans 24 Hours 1973: they ran with four Matra Simca MS670b and the drivers were:
n. 10 - Cevert-Beltoise
n. 11 - Pescarolo-Larrousse
n. 12 - Jaussaud-Jabouille
n. 14 - Wollek-Depailler
Bernard Fiorentino drove car n. 14 during practice.

NO! Bob Wollek looks like totally different at that time. He had long hairs and his typical grin.
He was much taller than Depailler

OK, I got the confirmation now from other sources. It is Bernard Fiorentino a Rallye driver who got the chance to drive the MATRA in Le Mans once

Bernard Fiorentino was a "works" driver for the CG-Simca constructor ( hence the Simca link with Matra ) , in Rallye and also at "road circuit" , I mean like the Ronde Cévenole where he was always among the best.
I think he also drove a modified M650 for Matra in one of the two "Tour de France Automobile" the team took part in .
PS : and by the way, yes, why is Bob Wolleck not in this ( very official looking ) photo ?

Perhaps Bob was holding the camera
