Marcel Lehoux (3 April 1888 – 19 July 1936) was a French racing driver and businessman.
Lehoux was born in
Grand Prix de la Marne at Reims in 1929, behind Zenelli and ahead of his friend, Philippe Étancelin, making a Bugatti sweep of the podium.[1] At the 1930 Algerian Grand Prix, he followed Étancelin home to second.[1] In 1931, he shared a Bugatti with Étancelin for both the Italian and French Grands Prix, events of 10 hours duration, run to Formula Libre rules; the duo dropped out both times. He would later race for Bugatti and Scuderia Ferrari
racing teams.
