Nicolas Minassian and a few other drivers were complaining sadly the 908 was finished after Zhuhai next week, but finally they will find the car back in 2011 it looks like :laugh:

That compulsary fin looks hideous.

ugh, damn the fin is hideous :( a 908 with a couple new udgrades it looks like, weird seeing the swan supports on the Peugeot

All 2011 LMP1 protos risk to appear the same with that fin :mark:

it is very risky competitions. so it is compulsory for racer to attend all the the competitions of vehicles.

It was only a matter of time the swan neck would appear on the Pug. My judgement on the compulsory fin is reserved till its been segued with the livery.

Looks of a car is the one thing it seems about a racer I CAN talk about and I must say I agree.

Though I am wondering if at the time the team didn't just fix the fin on to the 2009 shape bodywork to see how the LM cars perform with the fin on and that come the test session at Paul Ricard we will see a fin with the livery and any sponsorship on, instead of making a new 11' shape bodywork. Though why would they do that?

Hey !!! Latest rumour about arrival of ex-F1/rally driver Kimi Räikkönen at Peugeot-Sport(for Le Mans, but also likely Sebring and Spa) :confused:
If true, he would replace Pedro Lamy, new BMW season driver me guess :rolleyes:

Anyway, be connected at http://www.peugeot-sport.com/ to live follow the media press conference on thursday afternoon ;)

So the 90X despite many differences with the 908(shark fin, V8 engine, lots of aerodynamical things...)will still be called "908" :eek:

There are talks of a fault in the design of the Peugeot that makes it crash more easier. What's the story about it?
