Jules Goux (6 April 1885 - 6 March 1965), was a Grand Prix motor racing champion and the first Frenchman, and the first European, to win the Indianapolis 500.
Influenced by the Gordon Bennett Cup in auto racing, Jules Goux began racing cars in his early twenties. Success came in 1908 on a circuit set up on roads around Sitges, near Barcelona, Spain, when he won the Catalan Cup, a victory he repeated the following year. Because of his racing success, along with Georges Boillot, he was invited by Peugeot Automobile to race for their factory team. As part of a four-man design team led by Paul Zuccarelli and Ernest Henry, Goux helped develop a racecar powered by a radically new Straight-4 engine using a twin overhead cam.
Jules Goux won the 1912 Sarthe Cup at Le Mans driving a Peugeot, and in 1913 he travelled with the team to the United States to compete in the Indianapolis 500 race. Goux won the race, becoming the first French person to ever do so. Goux reportedly consumed four bottles of champagne while driving in the Indy 500 (then known as the International 500-Mile Sweepstakes Race) and was later quoted as saying "Without the good wine I would not have won the race".
Goux is a commune in the Gers department in southwestern France.
Out the door and down the steps
To the exact spot where we met
Woah oh, uh oh
No one but you
Staring at you like I stare at the sun
You’re like the daybreak, you wake me up
Woah oh, uh oh
No one but you
Don’t want anybody but you
Don’t want anybody but you
Don’t want anybody but you
Don’t want anybody if I can’t have you
You were in my room and I was there
Déjà vu of your underwear
Woah oh, woke up
Dreaming of you
Got on a bus and took the train
Down to the factory where I play
Woah oh, uh oh
Only for you
Don’t want anybody but you
Don’t want anybody but you
Don’t want anybody but you
Don’t want anybody if I can’t have
I don’t know if this will work
But I’ll burn this into the ground
Just to find if it works
I will get down on the ground
Just to make this work
Just to….
Don’t want anybody but you
Don’t want anybody
Don’t want anybody but you
Don’t want anybody but you
Don’t want anybody but you
Don’t want anybody but you
Don’t want anybody but you
