In 1936 the Jean Bugatti combined the chassis with a completely closed body known as Tank, to compete in car races and win the victory at Le Mans.

The French Roger labric team with Jean Pierre Wimille and Robert Benoist won with the Bugatti 57G Tank n.2 the 24 hours of Le Mans 1937, for the French manufacturer was the first success.
In the race the numerous French teams gave life to a close fight, conditioned by the accident that caused the death of two pilots, the English Pat Fairfield and the French Rene Kippeurt.
