TEAM FJ AND PEUGEOT SPORT LAUNCH A 208R4 PROGRAM IN NORTH AMERICA
- The PEUGEOT 208 Rally4 is a great sporting and commercial success.
- TEAM FJ, organizer of the NASCAR Europe Championship, has been established in the USA for 20 years.
- PEUGEOT Sport and TEAM FJ are launching a Rally4 program to participate in the American (ARA) and Canadian (CRC) Rally Championships.
- Nearly 30 years later, the Peugeot 208 Rally4 is returning to the footsteps of the 205 Turbo 16.
With nearly 500 units sold, the PEUGEOT 208 Rally4 has established itself as a great sporting and commercial success worldwide. The North American continent still needs to be conquered, which is gradually opening up to rallies with a WRC round project in the USA in 2026.
TEAM FJ has been established in the USA for over 20 years and has a solid structure and partners that have enabled it to become the NASCAR representative in Europe and to found the NASCAR Euro Series.
In partnership with MICHELIN Compétition and SPARCO, TEAM FJ and PEUGEOT Sport will enter a PEUGEOT 208 Rally4 in American and Canadian rallies from the end of this year and for the 2025 season. The objectives are both sporting: to demonstrate the performance of the PEUGEOT 208 Rally4 on North American special stages, but also commercial by offering the PEUGEOT 208 Rally4 for sale and rental with turnkey packages.
The PEUGEOT 208 Rally4 has been chosen to follow in the glorious footsteps of the legendary PEUGEOT 205 Turbo 16 Group B at the Olympus Rally and the PEUGEOT 405 Turbo 16 at Pikes Peak. Stellantis Motorsport drivers will compete in some events to demonstrate the full potential of the Rally4 and will share the wheel with Maxime Galpin, TEAM FJ driver, who will make his debut on gravel and will be responsible for proving that the PEUGEOT 208 Rally4 is also perfectly accessible to a beginner driver. Other PEUGEOT 208 Rally4s will arrive quickly and will be available for rental. The 2024 program will focus on the Canadian Rally Championship (CRC) with the Rallye de Charlevoix in Quebec on November 1-3, contested by Maxime Galpin, followed by the Rally Tall Pines in Ontario where a Stellantis Motorsport driver will be involved. The 2025 season will consist of great events selected from the Canadian and American Championships (ARA).
François Wales, Stellantis Motorsport Customer Competition Director: "PEUGEOT Sport is proud to write a new page in its Rally4 program, whose sporting and commercial successes have already left their mark on special events around the world. And so it is North America's turn to see the Peugeot 208 Rally4 arrive, with a program in the United States and Canada built in collaboration with trusted and renowned partners. The qualities of the 208 Rally4 are no longer in doubt, and we are convinced that it will appeal to the North American market."
Jérome Galpin, President and CEO TEAM FJ: "It is an honor for all of us to present this program with PEUGEOT Sport and MICHELIN Compétition. We want to quickly develop the North American structure and have several Rally4s to welcome local drivers, but also European drivers who want to discover the USA and Canada through rallies."
Having competed in a few rallies on French asphalt, Maxime Galpin will act as a beginner and will discover both gravel driving and the 208 Rally4. He will also be the team manager in North America.
Maxime Galpin, Team FJ driver: "I am very happy to participate in this great North American adventure. It is a great challenge to discover gravel rallies, but also a magnificent opportunity. I can't wait to drive the PEUGEOT208 Rally4."
See you from November 1 to 3 for the Rallye de Charlevoix, Quebec.
