Philippe Alliot (born July 27, 1954 in Chartres ) is a French racing driver who competed in Formula 1 and sports and touring car races .

Career

Between 1975 and 1978 Alliot had his first outings in the monoposto: he drove in Formula Renault in France. In 1978 he was able to win the championship title here.

In 1979 Alliot switched to Formula 3 and took part in the European Championship with guest starts in France, Great Britain and Germany until 1982. His best result was second place in Monaco in the 1982 season with Oreca-Martini - Alfa Romeo . In 1983 he was promoted to the Formula 2 European Championship. Oreca used a Martini 001 with a BMW engine under the name BMW France .

With a Peugeot 905 Evo 1, Alliot finished third in the Le Mans 24-hour race in 1992 and 1993

Alliot made his Formula 1 debut in 1984 at the Brazilian Grand Prix for the British team RAM Racing . His time with the defeated RAM team was not very successful. In 1985 and 1986 he also competed in the Formula 3000 European Championship until he got another chance in Formula 1 at Ligier .

Alliot started 109 times in Formula 1 races between 1984 and 1994 and achieved seven championship points. His best finish was a fifth place in the San Marino Grand Prix in the 1993 season . In the drivers' championship, 17th place in the 1987 and 1993 seasons was his best result. Alliot drove for four years for the Larrousse team , which he helped found at an early stage: Alliot introduced the later team boss Gérard Larrousse to the entrepreneur Didier Calmels , who contributed financially to the project and thus the development of the racing team first made possible.

Alliot competed ten times in the 24 Hours of Le Mans : 1981, 1982, 1983, 1986, 1990, 1991, 1992, 1995, 1996 and 2003.

In 1991 and 1992 he took 3rd place in the sports car world championship with Peugeot. In 1995 he drove his Peugeot 405 touring car in France with 53 points in eighth place.

In 1998 he started in the Dakar Rally . From 1999 to 2004 Alliot drove in the GT championship in France for BMW, Ferrari and most recently Chrysler. His best placement was winning the title in the N-GT class in 2001 with the JMB Ferrari 360. Sporadically in 2003 he also took part in the FIA GT championship with the Force One Chrysler Viper GTS-R . In the same year he was also active as a test driver for the Force One Carsport Pagani Zonda team.
