Jean-Jacques Grosman, known as Jean Achard (15 March 1918 – 14 July 1951), was a French race-car driver and journalist and a member of the French Resistance during World War II.
Achard eventually became the Chairman of the Fédération nationale française des anciens combattants("French National Federation of Former Combatants").
That same day, he had crashed at the Grand Prix de l’Albigeois at Albi, when one of the wheels from his Delahaye flew into the grandstands, killing a female spectator.
He brought Philippe Étancelin's Talbot-Lago T26C and he emigrated to Rio de Janeiro in Brazil.
Achard was even accepted into the 1951 running of the Indy 500, but he never made it to the race: he was killed in a hill climb event in Brazil.
