"Hall had entered the 4¼-litre #Bentley into the Le Mans 24-hour race in 1936, but the race was cancelled due to economic conditions and labour difficulties.

There was a swansong performance for that car, however, when Hall drove it in the second post-war Le Mans 24-hour race in 1950, becoming the first (and only) man to drive solo for the entire distance, despite having a co-driver in the pits ready to take over.

He completed 236 laps, which equals to nearly 3,200 km (2,000 miles)." #WikiFund #EdwardHall #LeMans24h #til
