I've received a request for information on where and when Lucien Hautvast died - can anyone help? Can anyone else shed any light on his career as well?

A look at altavista finds a site that mentions him in a race in November 1908.;)

As mentioned by danny1, Hautvast won the Cote de la Citadelle hillclimb at Namur in 1901 with a Vivinus, although it looks like he won overall; he won the same event in August 1904 with a Pipe. In the same month he also won the Spa-Malchamps hillclimb - he also won that in 1906, again in a Pipe. Info from a Belgian hillclimb website (!!

In his edition dated 27 December 1923, Les Sports published an article announcing the funeral of Lucien Hautvast. The story is a bit sad.
"Lucien Hautvast made a Belgian car's make famous (*). He was also contributor of the Automobile Club of Belgian as timekeeper. And yet we were only a dozen friends behind the hearse and nobody representing the AC of Belgium or a car's make. Baron Pierre de Crawhez, President of the FACPB (Federation of the Provincial Automobile Clubs of Belgium) was present and also MM Josse Rosseels (representing the LVB, Belgium league of cycling), Kuhling, Kinet, ... There was a bouquet over the coffin (from the family) and a wreath (from the Automobile Club of Namur - Luxemburg, for the old friend of the heroic good old days).
Lucien Hautvast started to go cycling. His first feat happened at the occasion of a 150 km race that he finished 2nd behind Van der Eynde with his bike on his shoulders. Advised by his friend Pierre de Crawhez he started motor racing around 1900. He won several races in Belgium. During Paris-Bordeaux he was stopped at Angoulême by the fire of the car of Serpollet. He also ran some Gordon Bennet Cup races and numerous meetings abroad.
He had exceptional technical skills and was very calm. He was talking in a slow and quiet voice. He was seen in the trade and the industry. He dealt a long time with the sale of tyres in Belgium..."
*: Pipe as he finished second in the 1907 Kaiser Preis and sixth in the 1904 Gordon Bennett at the same place, Taunus...
