Frank Clement

Frank Charles Clement (15 June 1886 – 15 January 1970) was a British racing driver who, along with Canadian John Duff, won the 1924 24 Hours of Le Mans. Part of the "Bentley Boys", Clement was recruited by W.O. Bentley as a test driver for Bentley Motors. He was chosen by the company to drive in the inaugural 24 Hours of Le Mans in 1923 with John Duff in Duff's privately entered car. The only British team in the event, the pair finished the race in fourth after fighting for the lead for much of the race. The following year Duff returned with his private Bentley and the two won the race outright over several Lorraine-Dietrichs and Chenard-Walckers.

Le Mans Career
John Duff, a Bentley Boy, finished fourth in the first-ever Le Mans in 1923, and managed to win it in 1924 in Bentley's first victory. But it was not until the late 20's that the term Bentley Boys, to refer to the race winning Bentley drivers of the pre-war period, was coined. By then, drivers like Woolf Barnato, Bernard Rubin and Sammy Davis had won the classic race.
