Canal, Mailleux, Ragues: Bosses during the week, pilots at the weekend

Can you tell us what you do outside of your racing career?

Franck Mailleux: I am a father of two children, which is already a full-time job. Beyond motorsport, I have an intense professional activity since I manage MX, the company that my grandfather created more than 70 years ago and which specializes in handling for farmers. We develop the arms and tools which go to the front of the loaders and which allow a tractor to become a handling machine. It is a company which is present almost everywhere in the world commercially, industrially speaking we are also established in Brazil and India. This involves moving quite a bit.

Pierre Ragues: I am also the father of a 5-year-old little girl and I also work in my grandfather's family business, which was founded in 1950. My father took over, accompanied by my mother, and began to sell auto parts. With my sister (Juliette), we are trying to retire them! My mother has already taken it, but my father has a little trouble, he likes to work too much! (Laughs) My sister is on the social side and I am on the business side. We have twelve points of sale as well as a logistics part that we have set up in Caen (Normandy) which represents our geographical heart. We spread across the Great West, from Le Havre to Cherbourg via Rennes, Saint-Malo, Fougères and Le Mans. We are around 300 people.
