Porsche mourns Paul Fr�re
Stuttgart. Dr. Ing. h.c. F. Porsche AG, Stuttgart mourns a great journalist
and racing driver: Paul Fr�re has died at the age of 91. Anton Hunger,
Porsche�s Head of Press and Public Relations, paid tribute to the deceased:
�Paul Fr�re lived life at racing speed. Whether as an engineer, a race
driver or a journalist, he was a man who commanded the widespread
admiration of the international motoring scene. With his passing, Porsche
loses a connoisseur of many years, who actively accompanied the enterprise
and its products from their beginnings right up to the present day.�
A Belgian citizen, Paul Fr�re was born in 1917 in the French town of Le
Havre. He made his way into motor sport in the late 1940s and subsequently
drove for various different teams. He started for the first time for
Porsche in 1953 with Richard von Frankenberg in a Porsche 550 Spyder at Le
Mans, where he gained a best of class victory. In the 1958 Le Mans,
together with Edgar Barth in a Porsche 718 RSK, he finished in fourth place
overall, besides winning best of class in the category up to 1500 cubic
centimeters.
In parallel to his career as a racing driver, in 1945 he began a career in
freelance journalism and was much in demand as an expert worldwide. Paul
Fr�re continued his activities as a journalist and test driver to a ripe
old age and wrote various books on automobiles, including the �Porsche 911
Story�, a standard work which is in print to this day. An enthusiastic
aficionado of the sports cars from Zuffenhausen, he was still driving his
first Porsche � a 356 � as well as an Indian red 911 Carrera in the last
years of his life.
Paul Frere was featured in many magazine articles and wrote some Porsche specific books, and his input about the Porsche brand was legendary, a true Porsche fanatic and quite a racer in his day. Too bad, but 91 is one hell of an achievement. He'll be missed.
