I need some informations about two "gentleman drivers" (I think so) of the sixties: Gustave Gosselin, from Belgium and Pierre Dumay, a frenchman.
They were very unhappy in the 1965 edition of the 24 Hours of Le Mans when they arrived in 2th overall with a yellow 250 LM, behind the NART one that Rindt-Gregory drove to win.
I would know something about their lives, could you help me as usual ?
Thank you all.

I've got the birth place of Pierre DUMAY : Alger in Algeria, because in several news they said about DUMAY that he is an "Algérois" ; Alger resident ...
About Gustave GOSSELIN nick-name "Taf" ,I've just : born in Charleroi (Hainaut) Belgium.
If someone have more...

Taf, according to a German Wikipedia (yeah, I know) entry: http://de.wikipedia....ustave_GosselinTaf always looked absolutely the Mr Cool of the pair, with his hawkish features and carefully waved hair. Which of the pair was actually driving when the tyre blew on their GTB/C at Le Mans???

Contemporary reports differ, Henry Manney says Gosselin, Gregor Grant says Dumay. Pascal in "Ferraris at Le Mans" says Gosselin. The car, of course, was a 250LM, not a GTB/C!Taf always looked absolutely the Mr Cool of the pair, with his hawkish features and carefully waved hair.

Quentin Spurring says Dumay in his ongoing history of the race, as does David Tremayne in his biography of Rindt.
