A resounding one-two triumph for Peugeot at Le Mans : Today saw Team Peugeot Total secure its first victory in the Le Mans 24 Hours with the diesel-powered 908 HDi FAP which contested the French endurance classic for the first time two years ago in 2007. This afternoon’s result also takes the firm’s Le Mans score to three wins following its previous triumphs in 1992 and 1993. The Peugeot squad monopolised the top-two places overall in this year’s contest. And, with the exception of a short instant early in the race on Saturday afternoon, it led from flag to flag; initially with the N°8 car of Sarrazin/Montagny/Bourdais, then with the N°9 car (Gené/Wurz/Brabham) which inherited top spot just ahead of the five-hour mark, before going on to defend its advantage until the finish. The N°7 car (Minassian/Lamy/Klien) rounded off Peugeot’s weekend by completing this year’s thrilling Le Mans clash in sixth spot after collecting a series of minor setbacks during the night.
