- Comments Off on Ford Escort WRC – R4 FMC – J Kankkunen / J Repo
Car built by M-Sport in 1998, for Ford’s official program in the World Rally Championship, in the colours of Valvoline. In 1998 Juha Kankkunen contested six world rallies with the car, resulting in three podium finishes.
It was entered for the first time in the 1998 Rallye Monte Carlo, in the hands of Juha Kankkunen, with the registration “R4 FMC”. Although the Finn had not such a good start as his team-mate Bruno Thiry, he managed to climb to second place after 7 of the 18 stages. It was in this position that he ended the rally, setting the fastest time in SS 8, the mythical and 36.72 km long Sisteron-Thoard stage.
The car was built for asphalt rallies – it was so light that it had to carry ballast to respect the minimum weight imposed by the regulations – and chassis #29 made its return in the works [...]

- Comments Off on Subaru Impreza WRC ’05 – châssis #7 – P Solberg / P Mills
Car built in 2005 by Prodrive for the official Subaru World Rally Team program in the World Rally Championship. Petter Solberg, 2005 World Vice-Champion, has contested three rallies with it.
When the Subaru Impreza S11 WRC made its debut in 2005, it was the 8th generation of the Impreza WRC. With its numerous evolutions it was 30 mm wider than its predecessor, the S10, which made it possible to adopt wider tracks. This S11 also had plenty more elements in composite materials (wings and bumpers in particular). Beneath its stiffer shell, there was a flat 4-cylinder engine with a lighter flywheel, associated with a new IHI turbo, but also a new water injection system.
The Subaru Impreza S11 WRC “HC54 WRC” is the 7th chassis of its generation built by Prodrive. The various chassis of this generation of the Impreza from the Prodrive workshops include the numbers “54” after [...]

Following the win of the 2008 DKR in 2016, the marketing team of Peugeot decided to build a new car to promote their newest SUV the 3008.
With a couple of technical upgrade, a new more aerodynamic body, an air conditioner and a new optimised engine the 3008 DKR was born and instantly proved to be the ultimate Dakar rally car with an historic triplet in the 2017 Dakar.
The following year Peugeot intoduced the 3008 DKR Maxi and went on for antoher succes with Carlos Sainz in 2018.
Our car is the chassis C22 that most notably participated in the “private” participation of Sébatien Loeb in the 2019 Dakar. As he was put in a restricted list of drivers by ASO he couldn’t use the Maxi upgrade and the car is still in this configuration. Nonetheless it is pretty simple to make the upgrade of the car to the Maxi version if necessary. It has been maintained by PH Sport since they [...]
