Personal wealth, through his family's business, allowed him the chance to race frequently, having started by meeting Jean Tremoulet, who incidentially shared the same birthday as Eugene. Chaboud bought a Delahaye sportscar with Tremoulet and this car and the partnership took a surprise win at Le Mans in 1938. After World War Two - by which time Tremoulet was deceased - Chaboud carried on racing before working for a while as sporting director of Ecurie France. Chaboud finished his career rallying before taking up a business career, running a used car garage from 1949 onwards.
