Jean Xhenceval
Belgian Jean Xhenceval, (here with Pierre Dieudonné), is a former professional racing driver from Belgium. His career, mostly in touring cars driving Luigi-prepared BMW’s, spanned from 1970 to 1983.
Discreet but extremely fast and reliable, he has an enviable palmarès with notable victories in: the 24 Hours of Spa in 1974 and 1975, the RAC TT in 1976, the Brno GP in 1976 and 1977, the 4 Hours of Jarama in 1976, the ETCC Monza and Mugello in 1976 and 1977, Brands Hatch and Pergusa 500 km in 1979, Monza 4 Hours in 1979…
Jean Xhenceval also finished 8th, 9th and 10th at the Le Mans 24 Hours in respectively 1977, 1981 and 1980, in his three participations, and became European Touring Cars Champion in 1976, and always with his friend Pierre Dieudonné.

Bonjour. Et on peut ajouter que Xhenceval et Dieudonné ont remporté le titre européen en tourisme en 1976.
Merci Gilbert
