# List of Pau Grand Prix winners

The Pau Grand Prix (French: Grand Prix de Pau) is an annual championship automobile road event for single seater racing cars organised by the L'Automobile Club Basco-Béarnais (ACBB) on the Circuit de Pau-Ville closed city street track in the centre of Pau, a commune in the Pyrénées-Atlantiques department of southwestern France. The ACBB was first inspired to hold the race in 1933 after the success of the Monaco Grand Prix, as well as other races in Nice and Nîmes. It has been variously run to Formula One, Formula Two, Formula Three (F3), Formula 4 (F4), Formula 3000, Formula Libre, Formula Renault, Grand Prix and touring car rules throughout its history. The Grand Prix consists of three short-distance races, each having one more lap to complete after the time limit has elapsed: two 20-minute races on Saturday and a third 30-minute race, the Pau Grand Prix, contested the following day. Each winner receives a trophy at an awards ceremony following the conclusion of each of the three events, with the third race determining the Pau Grand Prix winner.
As of the 2023 edition, there have been 64 race winners in the 80 editions of the Grand Prix. The inaugural winner was French driver Marcel Lehoux driving a Bugatti in 1933. Jim Clark of Great Britain is the most successful driver at the event, having achieved four victories in 1961, 1963, 1964 and 1965. French racers Jean Behra and Maurice Trintignant and Austria's Jochen Rindt are all in second position with three victories each. Nello Pagani of Italy was the first driver to achieve consecutive victories when he won the 1947 and 1948 races. Australian driver Jack Brabham holds the records for the longest time between two victories as well as his first and last wins–six years between the 1960 and 1966. It has been won by French drivers on 26 occasions, followed by Italian racers with 13 victories and British drivers with 12 wins. Signature is the most successful team with seven victories, ahead of Team Lotus with five wins and Carlin, Prema Powerteam, Scuderia Ferrari with four victories each. The most recent winner was French racer Enzo Peugeot of the FFSA Academy team at the 2023 F4 event.
