Robert Brunet

Most of his 44 entries were Grands Prix, but he also entered the 24 Hours of Le Mans.

In 1926, Brunet married the Countess of Choiseul, a rich noblewoman, with whom he invested in his racing career by buying a Bugatti.

However, he did not become successful until 1933, when he purchased the Bugatti T51 previously owned by Jean-Pierre Wimille.

Besides racing, Brunet lead a factory which produced capacitors for cars.

This meant Brunet could not afford his ordered Talbot-Lago T26C and he stopped racing soon after[2] the Porsche 356SL he was supposed to co-drive at the 1951 Le Mans race was crashed in practice.
