[2][3][4][5] PH Sport was founded on 17 July 1990 by Bernard Piallat, a mechanic, and David Henry, a bodywork specialist.
[6] Prior to starting the company, the founders had entered rallies as a crew pair, with Henry driving and Piallat co-driving.
Differences of opinion with Piallat on the future of the company appeared after a few months, with Heintz and Loeb both keen to expand operations to circuit competitions.
[11][13] The Equipe de France team entered into the 2008 Junior World Rally Championship with Citroën Sport backed Sébastien Ogier driving their C2 Super 1600.
This performance convinced the Equipe and Citroën to enter Ogier into the season finale at Rally GB in a C4 WRC car which PH Sport ran.
[14][15] For the following two years, the company worked with Ogier whilst operating the Citroën Junior Team in the top class of the WRC.
[19][20][21][22][23] In 2008, these customers were Estonian Urmo Aava, running in World Rally Team Estonia, and Zimbabwean privateer Conrad Rautenbach, as well as for Ogier on behalf of the Equipe de France in the final round.
In 2011 the WRC rules were relaxed, allowing non-manufacturer teams to compete in the manufacturers championship with the latest cars and with a minimum obligation of only 7 rounds.
Citroën withdrew its World Rally Team from the WRC in 2016 in order to focus resources on developing a new regulation car for use in the 2017 season onwards.
[37] Although, they continued to support the team unofficially, asking PH Sport to run the Abu Dhabi Total WRT on most events with drivers Kris Meeke, Craig Breen and Khalid Al-Qassimi, with occasional drives from Stephane Lefebvre, Marcos Ligato, Quentin Gilbert and José Alberto Nicolas.
[44] Although supported by Citroën, Robert Kubica drove a car supplied by PH Sport in the WRC and WRC2 championships in 2013, the season he won the WRC2.
[48] In 2001, PH Sport ran the Citroën Saxo VTS S1600 that Sébastien Loeb won the Super-1600 Championship for Drivers with.
