Today at 17h30 in collaboration with the Royal Automobile Club of Belgium and the International Le Mans 24-Hours Drivers Club, the ACO pay homage to Freddy Rousselle.
Freddy Rousselle raced in the Le Mans 24 Hours on three occasions between 1956 and 1958 at the wheel of a car entered by the prestigious Ecurie Nationale Belge. He finished fourth twice in a D-Type Jaguar, the first time with Jacques Swaters and the second with Paul Frère.
Rousselle is the second driver inducted into the Le Mans 24-Hours Drivers Hall of Fame after Englishman Eric Thompson on 13th April at Silverstone. This induction is carried out by Pierre Fillon, President of the ACO, as well as by the youngest Belgian driver in the Spa-Francorchamps 6 Hours, Bertrand Baguette who is competing in the WEC and then the Le Mans 24 Hours in an OAK Racing Morgan-Nissan.
