DENIS BOULOM

1. DENIS BOULOM Born in France on 25/01/1955 in Florange, department of Moselle. Educated in the Paris region, engineering school and Bachelor of Mathematics and At the same time, I will start the motorcycle competition, participating in the most famous motorcycle promotion race in France, the Kawasaki Cup. From the first race I will make the lap record and win the race in front of all the tenors, I will also win the next 1 race before giving up for lack of financial means. I pass my baccalaureate with honors The following year a mechanic asks me to run for him in the Kawasaki Cup, I go there and in mid-season, I'm leading with more than 25 points ahead of the second in the championship. A separation with the mechanic will make me lose the championship and I will finish 2nd having missed 3 races. Being the best hope, I joined the Kawasaki endurance team the following year. I would finish 2nd of the Bol d'Or (the most famous race) in 1976 Meanwhile I will do the World Championship motorcycle 250cc and 350 cc. Considered the best hope. I am hired by the Benelli endurance plant. 7th at the Italian GP in Imola with a standard motorbike, I should end the races after a Physics.

2. serious accident at the German GP at the Nurburgring, where I achieved a feat in testing before crashing. Paralyzed, 3 fractured vertebrae, 10 ribs and a kidney touched, I must interrupt my season and I could not leave again by means mistakes. The Benelli factory will entrust me with the management of a motorcycle shop in St Quentin, in the north of France. I would sell 6 times more motorcycles than expected !! The attraction of the race being stronger, no longer able to ride a bike, I commit to single-seater and left the management of the motorcycle shop I am opening a valve automation design company, a very successful company that will allow me to finance the competition. We realize in particular automatisms for the center Ariane, for the pipelines ensuring the gas supply from Russia to France ... A Ford formula season to learn after a Formula Renault season or I finish 5th. To go to formula 3 B or I finish 3rd in the championship Markets have changed, I lose my subcontracts and I create an automotive design company With the bases acquired in competitions, I start manufacturing a sports car. The results are very encouraging, with a Citroen Xantia V6 engine; my car is 1.5s faster than a Porsche 996 bi turbo on a circuit like Nogaro. We were going to launch a series of 20 cars when my subcontractor who manufactured the chassis is killed in a plane crash ... His company is in trouble because the banks do not follow and the project fails resulting in a loss of several million francs I continue to develop the project of a tri-energy car, after long negotiations with Chinese investors, then Moroccans, I am obliged to stop the development and abandon the design I turn to the rental of motor homes, luxury cars ... very quickly I place myself as one of the most important private renters of the south of France. Wanting to develop other concepts and other markets, I leave the management of motor homes to another company in order to devote myself to my project of establishment in Albania in the naval field. Unfortunately the motorhome management company is going to divert the funds, will never pay me and I will have to file for bankruptcy. for lack of means.

3. I also take care of the career of my son Enzo who races motorcycles in European and World Championship Now I am moving towards renting and co-owning yachts with skippers which reduces all risks. We will also develop a shipyard in Albania
