Boris Derichebourg (born 16 March 1978 in Enghien-les-Bains) is a retired professional race car driver from France. Derichebourg began his racing career in karts in 1992 before moving to the French Formula Three Championship in 1995 and 1996. He moved up to International Formula 3000 in 1997, earning two podiums in two seasons.[1] In 1999, he ran two Indy Lights races[2] and two Formula 3000 races.
In 2000, Derichebourg raced for Paul Belmondo Racing in the FIA GT Championship, and at Le Mans.[3] For the 2001 season, he continued with Belmondo in FIA GT, and raced a prototype for Pescarolo Sport at the 24 Hours of Le Mans and the 1000 kilometers of Estoril. In 2002, Derichebourg raced sparingly in the FIA GT Championship for Belmondo and the FIA Sportscar Championship for Courage Compétition. He also ran the 24 Hours of Le Mans for Courage, finishing 15th overall and 11th in class.
Derichebourg moved to the French GT Championship in 2003, again driving Paul Belmondo Racing's Chrysler Viper. After two starts in the World Series by Nissan in 2004, he retired from auto racing.[1] Derichebourg is currently an executive at several of his family's companies.[4]
