Paul Frère

Born in Belgium, Frere was one of the first racing journalists in that he did double duty as a motorsports writer and he competed as a driver for several years in Sportscars and Formula 1. Frere's career took place mostly during the 1950s, but it extended for a few years in the 60s. He then retired and returned to work behind the pen and occasionally lended his talents out most notably on the film _Grand Prix (1967)_.
