Yes, Ferenc Szisz, winner of the very first Grand Prix motor race, the 1906 French Grand Prix at Le Mans, in his Renault AK 90CV with riding mechanic M. Marteau.
Szisz was originally Louis Renault's riding mechanic, but took over as the company's lead driver after Marcel Renault was killed in the deadly 1903 Paris-Madrid Race.
