Woolf Barnato

Joel Woolf Barnato (27 September 1895 – 27 July 1948) was a British financier and racing driver, one of the "Bentley Boys" of the 1920s. He achieved three consecutive wins out of three entries in the 24 Hours of Le Mans race.

As a driver, Barnato won the 24 Hours of Le Mans race three times: 1928 with Bernard Rubin in a Bentley 4½ Litre, 1929 with Sir Henry "Tim" Birkin in a Bentley Speed Six ("Old Number One") and 1930 with Glen Kidston in a Bentley Speed Six ("Old Number One").

As these were the only years in which he entered the race, Barnato is the only Le Mans driver with a perfect wins-to-starts ratio. Bentley, under his chairmanship, also won the race in 1927, with Dr. J. Dudley "Benjy" Benjafield and S. C. H. "Sammy" Davis in a Bentley 3 Litre.
