Robert Mazaud (born August 4, 1906 in Graville-Sainte-Honorine , † July 28, 1946 in Nantes ) was a French racing driver .

Career

Mazaud's career began with a bang in 1938 when he immediately won a sports car race in a Delahaye . The following year he broke the lap record at the Le Mans 24-hour race , but his retirement prevented greater success. The Second World War brought him like so many other young drivers to continue his career, but in 1946 he denied again race on a Maserati . His greatest achievement was a third place at the St. Cloud Grand Prix in 1946 .

Just a few weeks later, Mazaud had a fatal accident at the Nantes Grand Prix.
