PH Sport has already taken part in three Off-Road rallies in 2018 – the Dakar, the Dubai Baja and the Abu Dhabi Desert Challenge – with Khalid Al-Qassimi (3008 DKR) and Harry Hunt (2008 DKR). A look back at how the team has adapted to this branch of motor sport.<\/strong><\/p>\n Since PH Sport made its debut in this branch of motor sport in 2016, the team has already made a place for itself in the bivouacs. Its second outing in the Dakar resulted in sixth place for Khalid Al-Qassimi and Xavier Panseri. The crew in the Abu Dhabi Racing Peugeot 3008 DKR MAXI put on one of the stand-out performances in the event.<\/p>\n \u201cWe received a lot of messages of congratulations after the finish,\u201d said a delighted Bernard Piallat, the PH Sport manager. \u201cThe results of these two weeks are very positive. Like all the entrants we ran into a few problems, but they were not down to the quality of our work. I\u2019m also very satisfied with the ambience that reigned within the team. The solidarity of the little group of engineers and technicians we created meant that we were able to string together the stages one after another in a calm, relaxed state of mind. Even the stressful moments ended up being transformed into good memories as we\u2019re proud of what we achieved to overcome the challenges we had to cope with.\u201d<\/p>\n Ph Sport is a team specialising in rallies and it has acquired new specific knowhow in this branch of the sport. \u201cCertain aspects are easier than in the WRC. For example, we have a lot more time to work,\u201d Piallat continued. \u201cOn the other hand, you have to be even more vigilant than in traditional rallies as the slightest weakness can have disastrous consequences in a 1000-km stage. In addition we raced in harsh territories. You have to foresee everything beforehand. The preparatory work really is the key to success in off-road rallies.\u201d<\/p>\n At present, the next stage in PH Sport\u2019s programme is the Rally Kazakhstan (27 May \u2013 2 June) in which Harry Hunt will drive a Peugeot 3008 DKR. The Briton will also race in the Silk Way (15-29 June) and the 2019 Dakar in a 3008 DKR MAXI.<\/p>\n PH Sport has other seats available for one or more races: \u201cOver the last two years we\u2019ve invested a lot of time and energy in developing our knowhow in rally-raids. The 2008 and 3008 DKRs are extraordinary cars and we have the necessary experience to make the most of their potential. In testing or in races we\u2019ve run numerous drivers with varied profiles and we\u2019ve done a huge amount of work to make the cars good all-rounders and easy to get to grips with. At the same time we make a point of providing top-quality services so we\u2019re not going to enter more than three cars in the 2019 Dakar.\u201d<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_gallery _builder_version=”3.0.106″ posts_number=”16″ show_title_and_caption=”off” show_pagination=”off” gallery_ids=”118834,118832,118836,118838,118840,118842,118844,118846,118848,118850,118853,118855,118857,118859,118861,118866″ fullwidth=”off” orientation=”landscape” zoom_icon_color=”#f360ae” hover_overlay_color=”rgba(255,255,255,0.9)” background_layout=”light” pagination_font_size_tablet=”51″ pagination_line_height_tablet=”2″ gallery_orderby=”rand” \/][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" PH Sport has already taken part in three Off-Road rallies in 2018 – the Dakar, the Dubai Baja and the Abu Dhabi Desert Challenge – with Khalid Al-Qassimi (3008 DKR) and Harry Hunt (2008 DKR).

En d\u00e9but d\u2019ann\u00e9e, la seconde participation de l\u2019\u00e9quipe au Dakar s\u2019est sold\u00e9e par la sixi\u00e8me place de Khalid Al-Qassimi et Xavier Panseri. \u00c0 bord de la Peugeot 3008 DKR MAXI d\u2019Abu Dhabi Racing, l\u2019\u00e9quipage a effectu\u00e9 une des courses les plus remarqu\u00e9es.<\/p> \u00ab\u00a0Nous avons eu d\u2019ailleurs de nombreux messages de f\u00e9licitations apr\u00e8s l\u2019arriv\u00e9e\u00a0\u00bb, se r\u00e9jouit Bernard Piallat, Directeur de PH Sport. \u00ab\u00a0Le bilan de ces deux semaines est tr\u00e8s positif. Comme tous les concurrents, nous avons rencontr\u00e9 quelques soucis, mais ils n\u2019\u00e9taient pas imputables \u00e0 la qualit\u00e9 de notre travail. Ma satisfaction vient aussi de l\u2019ambiance qui a r\u00e9gn\u00e9 au sein de l\u2019\u00e9quipe. Nous avons constitu\u00e9 un petit groupe d\u2019ing\u00e9nieurs et de techniciens suffisamment solidaire pour encha\u00eener les \u00e9tapes dans le calme et la s\u00e9r\u00e9nit\u00e9. M\u00eame les moments de stress ont fini par \u00eatre de bons souvenirs, car nous sommes fiers de ce que nous avons r\u00e9alis\u00e9 pour surmonter les d\u00e9fis qui se pr\u00e9sentaient \u00e0 nous.\u00a0\u00bb<\/p> \u00c9quipe sp\u00e9cialiste du rallye, PH Sport a donc acquis de nouveaux savoir-faire sp\u00e9cifiques \u00e0 la discipline. \u00ab\u00a0Certains aspects sont plus faciles qu\u2019en WRC. Par exemple, nous avons beaucoup de temps pour travailler\u00a0\u00bb, poursuit Bernard Piallat. \u00ab\u00a0En revanche, il faut \u00eatre encore plus vigilant qu\u2019en rallye \u2018traditionnel\u2019, car la moindre faille peut avoir des cons\u00e9quences d\u00e9sastreuses sur une \u00e9tape de 1000 km. Et puis nous \u00e9voluons le plus souvent dans des contr\u00e9es \u2018hostiles\u2019. Il faut donc tout pr\u00e9voir en amont. V\u00e9ritablement, le travail de pr\u00e9paration est la cl\u00e9 de la r\u00e9ussite en rallye-raid.\u00a0\u00bb<\/p> Pour l\u2019heure, la suite du programme de PH Sport passera par le Rally Kazakhstan (27 mai \u2013 2 juin), o\u00f9 Harry Hunt disposera d\u2019un Peugeot 3008 DKR. Le Britannique disputera \u00e9galement le Silk Way (15-29 juillet) puis le Dakar 2019 en 3008 DKR MAXI.<\/p> PH Sport propose \u00e9videmment d\u2019autres volants, pour une ou plusieurs courses\u00a0: \u00ab\u00a0Depuis deux ans, nous avons investi beaucoup de temps et d\u2019\u00e9nergie pour d\u00e9velopper notre savoir-faire en rallye-raid. Les 2008 et 3008 DKR sont des voitures hors-normes et nous disposons de l\u2019exp\u00e9rience n\u00e9cessaire pour les exploiter \u00e0 leur plein potentiel. En essais ou en course, nous avons fait rouler de nombreux pilotes aux profils vari\u00e9s et nous avons effectu\u00e9 un gros travail pour rendre les voitures polyvalentes et ais\u00e9es \u00e0 prendre en main. Dans le m\u00eame temps, nous cherchons \u00e0 conserver des prestations de grande qualit\u00e9. Ainsi, nous n\u2019engagerons pas plus de trois voitures au Dakar 2019.\u00a0\u00bb<\/p> \u00a0<\/p>","_et_gb_content_width":""},"categories":[71],"tags":[48,54,70,73,72,51,52],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ph-sport.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/118869"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ph-sport.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ph-sport.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ph-sport.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ph-sport.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=118869"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.ph-sport.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/118869\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":118870,"href":"https:\/\/www.ph-sport.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/118869\/revisions\/118870"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ph-sport.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/118833"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ph-sport.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=118869"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ph-sport.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=118869"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ph-sport.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=118869"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}Seats still available<\/strong><\/h3>\n
