Biography

Lemonnier started his car racing career as a competitor in the 1966 Rallye Côte Fleurie. From 1969 on he began to hide his family name by entering competitions under the alias "Knapick". Being at the time a farm machinery dealer, he chose the brand of Knapick trailers for his pseudonym, to hide from his customers that he was one of these "crazy car racers" in his spare time. The businessman from Normandy later moved to Brittany to found a DAF Trucks dealership in Noyal-sur-Vilaine near the town of Rennes.^[1]
