Not sure he was racing at the time, although he was following a policeman

Clue: We are not looking for a Grand Prix or F1 driver here but something closer to our group

Is this the Le Mans guy?

I watched a you tube video on him. He was the last owner, racer to win Le Mans, in 1980 (I remember it as that was the last time West Ham won anything of note).

His name however.......

Jean Rondeau!

Does it count as cheating if you look through your You Tube history?

Nah we will let you have that Jean Rondeau is correct the only man to win Le Mans in a car bearing his own name as constructor.
