Pierre-Henri Raphanel (born 27 May 1961) ^[1] is a French former racing driver.

Raphanel driving for Coloni at the 1989 Monaco Grand Prix.

He participated in 17 Formula One Grands Prix for Larrousse, Coloni and Rial, debuting on 13 November 1988. He only qualified for one race, the 1989 Monaco Grand Prix, making him the only driver in F1 history whose only race was in the principality. ^[2]

Following his F1 career, Raphanel became a factory driver for Toyota, competing in Japan for series such as JTCC and JGTC, for the latter until 2000. After 2006, Raphanel worked as the lead test driver and product specialist for Bugatti ^[3] and is usually seen demonstrating the Veyron.

Raphanel is also the uncle of the French-Algerian driver Julien Gerbi and of the young go-kart driver Arthur Raphanel.

Raphanel drove the Bugatti Veyron Super Sport to its maximum speed (431.072 km/h) in Ehra-Lessien in July 2010.
