Claude Desrosiers

Claude Desrosiers was a French rally co-driver active in the late 1950s, known primarily for his participation in international competitions alongside French driver Paul Coltelloni. He was part of the team that achieved an overall victory at the 1959 Rallye Automobile de Monte-Carlo, competing with a Citroën ID 19 alongside Coltelloni and Pierre Alexandre. This triumph was especially significant because it was achieved with a privately entered car and marked the first major international victory for a model derived from the Citroën DS in rallying. Although his presence in historical rally results is relatively limited and his personal biography is little known, Desrosiers became linked to motorsport history through his role in the 1959 Monte Carlo victory.
