Louis Rosier

Louis Claude Rosier (1905-1956) was an excellent racing driver from France. He is seen here-above in his Talbot-Lago in Albi, France in 1951. Notice how vulnerable the driver is. These were very dangerous times in motor racing.

He participated in 38 Formula One World Championship Grands Prix, debuting on 13 May 1950. He achieved 2 podiums, and scored a total of 18 championship points. He won the Dutch Grand Prix twice in consecutive years between 1950 and 1951, the Circuit d’Albi, Grand-Prix de l’Albigeois and the 24 Hours of Le Mans with his son Jean-Louis Rosier. Rosier owned the Renault dealership of Clermont-Ferrand.
