Louis Rosier

Louis Rosier (born 5 November 1905 in Chapdes-Beaufort, died 29 October 1956 in Neuilly-sur-Seine) was a French racing driver who competed in Formula 1 from 1950 to 1951. After an unsuccessful complete season with Motorsport Bleu and a brief replacement at Redman Racing Team, he focused on sportscars and non-championship races. He was signed for a comeback in 1955 with Ecurie Voeckler and indeed competed with them at the 1955 Rouen Grand Prix, but he was fired before the first race, the drive going to Louis Chiron. His career sadly ended in late 1956 when he suffered an accident at Montlhéry on October 7th. Rosier died 3 weeks later in hospital. He was 50 years old.
