Dan Gurney, Bernard Cahier, and Phil Hill in France, 1962

Bernard Cahier, father of Paul-Henri, passed away having left a legacy of photo journalism in motorsport behind for all to enjoy. A native of France, Bernard studied at UCLA where he met his wife, Joan Updike, and became involved in the Southern California sports car scene working alongside then unknowns Phil Hill and Ritchie Ginther before building a career in journalism covering racing. Motorsport's loss is great with Bernard's passing, and for more on Bernard's life, please visit Grandprix.com, and F1-Photo.com. Our thoughts and best wishes go to Paul-Henri and his family at this time.
