Biography
Fernand Bachmann, born on 6 June 1886 in Remiremont, France and died on 22 May 1965 in Brienon-sur-Armançon, is a car dealer, administrator of the Chenard and Walcker establishments[2] and a French car driver with Chenard and Walcker race team.

He represented the Chenard and Walcker cars and he was the administrator of the brand's establishments in France.
Car driver
In 1923, Fernand Bachmann participates in the first edition of the 24 Hours of Le Mans organized on the Circuit de la Sarthe the 26 and 27 May 1923 by the Automobile Club de l'Ouest, on board one of the three Chenard et Walcker 3.0L S4[3].
The team Fernand Bachmann and Raymond Glaszmann (n°11)[4] finished the race in 7th position[5] while his brother Raoul and Christian Dauvergne (n°10)[6] drop the second position. The victory went to the third Chenard-Walcker 15 HP Tourism team (n°9) piloted by André Lagache and René Léonard, and thus form the first hat-trick of the historic race of Le Mans 24 Hours[7][8][9][10].
The following year, he participates at 1924 24 Hours of Le Mans with his brother on new Chenard and Walcker Type TT 12CV 2-litres. But because of a spectacular road exit they will not finish the race.
