Jean de Pourtales

Jean de Pourtales (born 19 August 1965) is a French racing driver from Neuilly-sur-Seine.

Before his motorsport career, de Pourtales was a member of the British junior alpine ski team, and attended the junior world ski championships.

He competed in Euro Formula 3000 part-time in 1999 and from 2001 to 2004 with his best season finish being 17th in 2003.

Jean de Pourtales is a rarity in motorsport, as he competes with an artificial limb.

A road accident in his twenties resulted in the loss of his left hand and forearm and has since raced with a special steering wheel that attaches to a prosthetic arm enabling him to compete just like his rivals.
