Marcel Lehoux

Marcel Lehoux (3 April 1888 – 19 July 1936) was a French racing driver.

Lehoux was born in Vendée in France. He placed second at the 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.

Lehoux died after a collision in the 1936 Deauville Grand Prix.
