Peugeot confirmed that Frenchman Stephane Peterhansel will contest the 2015 Dakar rally-raid behind the wheel of a 2008 DKR.
Peterhansel will be part of the Team Peugeot-Total alongside Carlos Sainz and Cyril Despres in the most punishing cross-country competition in the world.
The French driver is a true living legend in the world of cross-country rallying. Having tallied six triumphs in the motorcycle category and five in cars, he is the indisputable record-holder on the notoriously gruelling event.
His talent - showcased on innumerable occasions - and his experience are vital assets for Team Peugeot-Total, which has now completed its ‘Dream Team'.
“I kept a close eye on the return of the Peugeot, Red Bull and Total triumvirate at Pikes Peak - not to mention the outstanding success that was achieved there,” Peterhansel said.
“When we entered into discussions, the team's motivation, commitment and technical resources were immediately evident. There is a tremendous level of engineering expertise here, and the working environment is first-class. We share the same fighting spirit and the same hunger for victory.”
