Meeke will debut at the Dakar with PH Sport

Sans contrat depuis la fin de son aventure avec Toyota en WRC, Kris Meeke sees his horizons clearing. The Northern Irishman has decided to participate in the 2021 Dakar (January 3-15) in Saudi Arabia with the French team PH Sport.

The five-time winner of rally in World will pilot a Zephyr in the T3 category. This SSV is based on a Can-Am Maverick X3 and weighs only 900 kg for a competitive power-to-weight ratio. A carbon body gives it a rally-raid look.

Kris Meeke is not afraid of challenges because he has never taken part in a rally raid before! His navigator will be Wouter Rosegaar, 4th in Auto in 2015 (with Erik van Loon) and 11 times to the finish in 12 participations.

Passionate about the history of motorsport across all disciplines, I learned to read thanks to AUTOhebdo. At least that's what my parents tell everyone when they see my name inside!
