Early in his long career Berger raced a little Jicey-BMW, his best finish being third at Chimay in 1950. In 1953 he got his hands on a private Gordini, and then briefly became part of the works team early the following year, taking a Type 16 car to fourth in the non-championship race at Rouen.
Thereafter, Georges was a stalwart racer in sports and GT racing, with machines such as a Maserati sports, an AC Bristol and a Ferrari 250GT. He often raced the latter car with another ex-Grand Prix driver, Andre Simon. But his greatest success was winning the Tour de France rally with Willy Mairesse in 1960, again in a Ferrari.
In 1967 Berger was killed while taking part in the Marathon de la Route, an 84-hour endurance race at the Nürburgring, when he crashed his Porsche 911.
