Raymond Sommer (born 31 August 1906 in Mouzon, died 10 September 1950 in Cadours) was a French racing driver who competed in Formula 1 in 1950. The double 24 Hours of Le Mans winner had a tendency to enter private cars, which prevented him from getting major success in open-wheel racing. In Formula One, Sommer competed in a full season for Aston Martin, without much success. He died in Cadours during the Haute-Garonne Grand Prix when his car overturned. Sommer was 44.
