About Bernard Fau

The racer

Grand Prix rider at the time of the Continental Circus, the world motorcycle speed championship of the 1970s, Bernard Fau knew the greatest champions through the legendary European circuits.

The photograph

Having bathed in the cinema, Bernard Fau became a photographer in the cinema following his career as a rider.

Predestined

Bernard Fau was one of the heroes of the movie “Iron Horse” (1974), without knowing that he would also make his own film on the Continental Circus, more than 40 years after his model.

The videographer

30 years after the end of his racing career, Bernard Fau brought together two dreams by making his first film: racing and cinema.

Back to competition

Bernard Fau hung up the leather in 1983 but returned to competition in 2013 for an ICGP race at the Paul Ricard circuit in Le Castellet.

The recognition

“I have never been world champion, but this film is my title”.
Acclaimed unanimously by the motorcycle world, this first film gave Bernard the desire to make the second on the current MotoGP rider Johann Zarco.
