About Yohan Rossel
A rising force in WRC2, Yohan Rossel has been steadily climbing the rallying ranks, proving himself as one of the category’s most consistent and determined competitors. Born on 13 February 1995 in France, he made his WRC debut in 2014 at Rallye de France-Alsace and quickly established himself as a name to watch.
Rossel’s breakthrough came in 2019 when he clinched the French Rally Championship title, showcasing his raw speed and ability to adapt across a variety of surfaces. He stepped up to WRC3 in 2021 and wasted no time in making an impact, winning the title in a Citroën C3 Rally2. That success paved the way for his transition into WRC2, where he has since been a regular frontrunner.
His first WRC2 victories came in 2022, with standout wins at the Croatia Rally and Rally de Portugal. More success followed in the years to come, including triumphs at Rallye Monte-Carlo and Rally Chile Bio Bío in 2024.
Continuing his partnership with Citroën Racing, Rossel remains a key contender in WRC2 heading into 2025. Alongside co-driver Arnaud Dunand, he’ll be looking to add more wins to his growing tally.
