Former Dakar Rally Competitor and Actor Philippe Moustelou Passes Away at 64
Philippe Moustelou, a former competitor in the renowned Dakar Rally and a talented actor, sadly passed away on Sunday at the age of 64. His funeral service is scheduled to take place on Thursday afternoon at the Saint Laurent Church in Roujan, France. Moustelou had recently returned from Morocco before his untimely demise.
A Passion for Racing and Adventure
In 1985, Moustelou participated in the prestigious Paris-Dakar Rally, driving a Mercedes 280 GE alongside his navigator, Jean-Paul Boisgontier. Despite their best efforts, they were unable to complete the race. Undeterred by this setback, Moustelou continued to pursue his love for racing by participating in various domestic rallies, including the Atlas Rally, which served as a precursor to the modern-day Rallye du Maroc.
Not only did Moustelou compete in rallies, but he also played a vital role in organizing and overseeing other racing events in Morocco. His passion for motorsports was truly unparalleled.
A Man of Many Talents
Beyond his racing endeavors, Moustelou had a deep appreciation for the arts, particularly acting. He had the opportunity to work behind the scenes and even appear as an extra in several films produced in Africa. Some of his notable contributions include his involvement in movies such as “Last Journey of Paul W.R.” and “De sable et de feu.”
Those who knew Moustelou remember him as someone who was always eager to connect with others and had an infectious smile. Ouarzazate Guest House, where he resided, shared a heartfelt statement, expressing their admiration for his continuous efforts to improve their guesthouse and warmly welcome visitors. Additionally, Moustelou had a remarkable talent for fostering relationships with his Moroccan neighbors.
Moustelou’s lively spirit on film sets was also well-recognized by his colleagues. He possessed a natural ability to strike up conversations and leave a lasting impact on those he worked with. His absence will undoubtedly be deeply felt by all who had the privilege of knowing him. Our sincerest condolences go out to his family during this difficult time.
At present, the cause of Philippe Moustelou’s passing remains unknown. We can only reflect on the remarkable life he led and the profound impact he had on both the racing and film industries. Moustelou’s dedication and passion for his pursuits will forever be remembered.
As we bid farewell to a true racing enthusiast and talented actor, we honor Philippe Moustelou’s memory and the legacy he leaves behind. His contributions to the world of motorsports and film will continue to inspire future generations. Rest in peace, Philippe.
