What's the name of the first diesel car to ever race at the 24 Hours of Le Mans?

Diesel is not usually preferred for speed racing, due to the generally higher weight compared to a petrol-driven vehicle. However, after Audi caused a sensation with its diesel V10 in 2006, the world remembered the first time diesel technology appeared at the Le Mans. It was the Delettrez Diesel car in 1949 designed by two French brothers.
