Just a few days before its homologation and its competition debut, the Citro\u00ebn C3 R5 is the focus of attention as it is the main novelty of the 2018 season. From the Tour de Corse onwards, PH Sport will run St\u00e9phane Lefebvre\u2019s car as part of the Citro\u00ebn Racing works programme in WRC2. Other C3 R5s will then be available for rent to privateer drivers who want to race in the latest car from the French make.<\/strong><\/p>\n PH Sport is very proud of the fact that Citro\u00ebn Racing has put their trust in it to run their works programme in WRC2. In 2013, the Langres-based team helped Robert Kubica to win the title and it will try to achieve the same result with St\u00e9phane Lefebvre. The season will kick off at the Tour de Corse (5-8 April). Simone Tempestini will also have a C3 R5 for three rallies in WRC2 as a reward for his results in a DS 3 R5 in 2017. <\/p>\n In parallel to running the Citro\u00ebn Racing programme PH Sport is also renting out three more C3 R5s. This quick, versatile car that\u2019s as much at home on tarmac as it is on gravel is eligible for a raft of national and international championships (WRC2, ERC, MERC etc.). <\/p>\n Bernard Piallat, PH Sport manager: \u201cWe\u2019re delighted to have been chosen to run the Citro\u00ebn Racing works programme. It\u2019s the continuation of a long on-going collaboration and we hope that this season will be crowned with new victories. It\u2019s also a great pleasure to work with St\u00e9phane Lefebvre again with whom we won the Junior WRC and the WRC3 in 2014. The potential of the C3 R5 looks very promising and we\u2019ll do our utmost to contribute to its success. Several clients have already shown interest in renting our cars. The first is Benoit Vaillant who will race in the French Championship\u2019s second division.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image _builder_version=”3.0.106″ src=”https:\/\/www.ph-sport.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/DX2_6059.jpg” show_in_lightbox=”off” url_new_window=”off” use_overlay=”off” always_center_on_mobile=”on” force_fullwidth=”off” show_bottom_space=”on” \/][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Just a few days before its homologation and its competition debut, the Citro\u00ebn C3 R5 is the focus of attention as it is the main novelty of the 2018 season.
