First of all there was Marcel Masuy , a Belgien ex sidecar racer. In one season his passenger was Dennis Jenkinson.
Roger Gerbout it is not quite clear if he was a Belgian or French.
Rene Thomas de Gilly did his one and only Chimay race in 1955 This was the same year Ray Mallock found his way to Chimay. Mallock was entered with his Veritas at Brands Hatch. But there was no more to find about his Veritas adventure.
In the Monacco Sportscar GP in 1952 Jean Heurtaux drove a BMW-Veritas and finished 15th in the 2 litre class. He later owned a Jaguar C-typ.
And there appeared George de Kando , - a Belgian ? He started with a Sieta in some races but often was a Non-Starter with his Veritas.
Can anyone give some information about the persons or the history of the cars.
It would be great to hear from you.
So long

I understood that whilst in the army he built a trials special. He then built another that he also raced. And then he went on to build the U2. I don't see where an outing in a veritas fits into the story.
Just wondering, I haven't read his biography so I don't know for certain.

Jean-Louis Mathieu sent me some interesting contemporary documents on Jean Heurteaux a while ago - I will forward them to you by e-mail.

I sent you three e-mails with documents about Heurteaux gathered by Jean-Louis Mathieu.
About Masuy, Pier Paolo Garagnani found in the 02 August 1955 edition of the newspaper Le Monde that he was indeed killed in a sidecar accident in a race in Senigallia (a city in the province of Ancona), Italy. The accident happened on 31 July 1955 and Masuy died that same day.
