Sportscar and rally driver who was a technical studies and mathematics university tutor before, during and after racing. Coulon is now retired, but is still involved in education through education committees in his region. Coulon was an able driver but ultimate progression through the ranks was somewhat stymied by the fact that he was nearly 30 before he even started in Formula Renault. That said, he came very close to racing for March at the beginning of the 1974 season after an impressive Formula 3 season in 1972, which saw wins in both British and French Formula 3 and then also doing well in European F2, winning the 1973 event at Vallelunga. His son Julien has put photos of his career and life on the internet - find out more at https://www.jacques-coulon.com
