Ferdinand Montier (1909–1996) (named in some reports as "Francois Montier") was a French racing driver active in Grand Prix motor racing.
Ferdinand Montier was the son of Parisian automotive engineer and racing driver Charles Montier. [2] [3] The Montiers, father and son, raced the Ford-based "Montier Specials" produced by the father's company, Charles Montier et Cie. [2] [3] [4]
Montier entered but did not finish the 1929 Dieppe Grand Prix. [3]
He finished 11th in the 1930 Picardy Grand Prix [3] but did not finish the 1930 Belgian Grand Prix after running out of fuel. [5] [6] Montier notched up another DNF in the 1930 French Grand Prix [7] [8] and was flagged off in 8th place in the 1930 San Sebastián Grand Prix, ahead only of retirees. [9] [10]
A 10th place finish was secured in the 1931 Casablanca Grand Prix [11] and 11th at the 1931 Dieppe Grand Prix, one place behind his father. [12] Montier also entered the 1931 Belgian Grand Prix - a round of the inaugural AIACR European Championship. [13] [14] He failed to finish due to mechanical issues [15] but his participation nonetheless earned him 21st place in the drivers championship. [16]
Montier finished the 1932 Picardy Grand Prix in 6th and on the lead lap, 3 places ahead of his father. [17] Ferdinand arrived at the 1932 La Baule Grand Prix with a Montier Special now sporting two engines (instead of the Ford Model A-derived 3.3L straight 4 used hitherto [15] [17]); for the second race in succession he finished 6th and on the lead lap. [18]
Montier finished 13th in the 1933 Dieppe Grand Prix in a Ford V8-powered Montier Special, 11 laps behind the winner. [19] He entered the 1933 La Baule Grand Prix [20] and 1935 Lorraine Grand Prix [21] but did not appear at either event.
