Peugeot at Le Mans, any drivers known ?

Tough question!
As you said only an aerodynamics expert can answer here. Is Peter Elleray or Adrian Newey somewhere around?!

Anyway, let's wait Monza to see if it's efficient or not.

I don't know about Newey, but Elleray is occasionally around in a well known sportscars forum. I have even seen Tom908V12 there. Don't know about forum roles about giving links to other forums here though. :\

Interesting. So maybe we stand a chance of getting Elleray's comments.
That would be great.

Peugeot will be testing with only one 908 at the HTTT next weekend (test days LMS). Initially they wanted to bring two 908 there but they changed plans because of the amount of extra work they have got and the lack of time before the first race.

They have to modify and build a lot of new parts because they struggle to find the reliability (they expected more or less such a situation though).

Now we understand even more why they weren't able to test at Sebring this week.

Let's hope they can find the reliability as soon as possible but it seems that it will be a difficult year as expected. But it's quite natural considering the car was created in only one year from clean sheet!

I can't wait for this week-end and tons of pictures of the 908 in action on the Paul Ricard with the rest of the other protos !!!


I hope Pedro Lamy has 100% recovered from his injury

Can't wait either.

According to Peugeot, Bourdais and Lamy will have priority over the others during this test session because they are the ones who have spent the least time in the car so far. Makes sense...

So yes, Lamy seems to be ok now.

Peugeot is cautious regarding the first the race but want to show a strong pace already.
They don't expect to win at Monza but they will do the best job possible to qualify on pole.

I think they will win.

I just think that they (along with Audi) are just got too much power under the hood (or rear) of their cars and noone else has that type of power

D-2 before Peugeot come back in Sports Car racing !
Can't wait Monza
