🇫🇷 Pascal Fabre

Pascal Fabre is an established professional who raced single-seaters in the mid-1980s. He competed in International Formula 3000 from 1985 to 1986, driving a Lola for one of the series' regular entrants, and moved to Formula 1 in 1987 with AGS, a small team that finished the season without a race win across its six-driver roster.[1]

Fabre took one victory in Formula 3000 and three podium finishes across ten starts in the series, competing against a mixed field of amateur, semi-professional and established professionals. His move to Formula 1 came in April 1987. He started eleven races for AGS across the full season, finishing seventeenth in the championship standings with no points scored. His best results were ninth-place finishes at the French and British Grands Prix. He was replaced before the season ended and did not return to the grid.[2]

In both Formula 3000 and Formula 1, Fabre raced regularly against Ivan Capelli, the 1986 Formula 3000 champion, and Satoru Nakajima, both established professionals, finishing level with them across their meetings. He finished ahead of Nigel Mansell, the 1992 Formula 1 champion, in one meeting, and beat Mike Thackwell twice in Formula 3000.
