Benoist served during the First World War in the French infantry and then as a reconnaissance and (briefly) fighter pilot in the Armée de l'Air, during which time he shot down one German plane, and was himself shot down, landing between the two front lines.
Benoist was contacted by William Grover-Williams, a friend and another former racing driver, who had joined SOE and was sent into France in May 1942, and they worked together as the Chestnut network, seeking to establish sabotage cells.

 8W - Who? - Robert Benoist, 'Williams' & Jean-Pierre Wimille
Robert Benoist was one of the great stars of French motor racing in the inter-war years.
Benoist, meanwhile, was spirited out of France on the night of August 19/20th in an RAF Hudson, along with several other SOE notables including Victor Gerson and Tony Brooks (no relation to the racing driver as far as I know).
Benoist had soon revived the old Chestnut network as part of Clergyman and was soon to claim that he could raise a force of 2000 men in the Forest of Rambouillet.

 Origins and metamorphoses of the New Right: an interview with Pierre-Andre Taguieff
Benoist, the New Right's intellectual, said he was 'disheartened' by the National Front's ideas in a statement made to a history review which could have come from a vulgar Jean-Pepere Bloch [sic].
But, as Benoist explains, "European social democracy.," is "one of the most dangerous successors of liberalism." Around the mid-1980s, this intransigent anti-liberalism is redefined as a result of a generalized anti-utilitarianism.
But in his recent work,[20] Benoist reacts to criticism and seems to put forward the kind of classical cultural relativism found in Claude Levi-Strauss.[21] This is the source of GRECE's peculiar Third World stance, which appears to be a rhetorical way of being radically anti-American.

Benoist pitted on lap 35 but was so far ahead by then that he rejoined in the lead while Segrave's troubles got worse and he fell behind Senechal, Halford, Campbell, Eyston and even the delayed Divo, who's Talbot was trailing oil all the way.
In addition Benoist had to cope with the fact that his exhaust had split and red hot bits of exhaust pipe were being thrown back into the cockpit.
Benoist decided that he now had time to pit and have the exhaust fixed and he was in and out of the pits still ahead of Senechal who now had Divo on his tail, the surviving Talbot driver having overtaken Halford and Campbell.

 8W - What? - Delage
In 1924 Benoist became works driver for Delage, racing both hillclimbs and Grand Prix racing, his greatest achievement being a 3rd place at the European Grand Prix at Lyon behind his teammate Albert Divo, but the victory that day belonged to Giuseppe Campari racing for a team that made their international debut, Alfa Romeo.
Benoist followed it up with victories at the Spanish Grand Prix at Lasarte in July and the European Grand Prix at Monza in September and when the team came to Brooklands for the second English Grand Prix Benoist had in fact already secured the world championship for Delage.
Benoist won the English GP by a mere 7 seconds; a tiny gap considering he won the GP d'ACF by 8 minutes, 14.4 seconds; the Spanish GP by 2 min 17 sec., and the Italian GP by 22 min 32.8 seconds!

The first ever British Grand Prix was won by the French team of Louis Wagner and Robert Senechal driving a Delage 155B.
