David Besnard

David John Besnard (born 21 January 1977 in Sydney, Australia) is a retired professional racing driver.

After initial success, he had a major accident at Eastern Creek Raceway and broke his leg.

After a heavy crash at Nazareth Speedway, the team had to buy a new chassis and ran out of budget halfway through the season.

From there he drove with Stone Brothers for several seasons, with the highlight being winning the 2002 Queensland 500 with Simon Wills.

In 2004, with his links with WPS, a drive in the Champ Car World Series came about at Surfers Paradise.

Besnard placed eighth in the 2002 V8 Supercar Championship Series driving a Ford Falcon AU . The car is pictured in 2018.
