Jules Roussel (born 24 October 2006) is a French racing driver who last competed in the French F4 Championship.

Personal life

[edit]

Roussel is the son of former racing driver Patrice Roussel, who won the 1995 24 Hours of Le Mans in the LMP2 class,[1][2] and is the grandson of Pierre Roussel, a former rally driver.[3]

Career

[edit]

Born in Ancenis,[4] Roussel began karting at the age of seven, competing until 2023.[5] Spending most of his career with Extreme Limite, Roussel was the National Series Karting champion in 2023 and was runner-up in the 2022 Coupe de France.[6][7]

In 2024, Roussel stepped up to single-seaters, racing in the FFSA Academy-centrally run French F4 Championship.[8] In his rookie year in the series, Rousssel scored his maiden podium in race two at Spa by finishing second after starting on reverse-grid pole.[9][10]

Roussel remained in French F4 for 2025.[11] In the season-opening round at Nogaro, Roussel finished fifth in race one before ending off the weekend with back-to-back second-place finishes.[12][13] In the following round at Dijon, Roussel finished second in races one and three behind Alexandre Munoz.[14][15] In the season's only trip outside of France, Roussel won race one from pole at Spa,[16] and then won race three at Munoz retired.[17] After two retirements and a second-place finish at Magny-Cours,[18] Roussel took what turned out to be his last podium of the season at Lédenon by finishing second in race two,[19] to enter the final round 68 points behind Munoz.[20] In the final round at Le Mans Roussel finished seventh in race one but failed to score points in the other two races and dropped to third in the standings.[21]
