ELMS - 17/06/2008
Three races, three victories! After a more than encouraging 2007 testing year and a faultless 2008 start of the season, the Peugeot Total team, with furthermore the best lap times and the pole, could honestly be confident!
Nevertheless, the German manufacturer was first to cross the world most famous finish line at 15:00 and this for the eighth time! On this occasion, Audi have also signed their third consecutive victory with a diesel-powered engine, making eveidence, if needed, of their knowledge of this first class competition, both in the technical and tactical side.
Peugeot, with a second participation in the event with the 908 Hdi-FAP, has definitely not to blush! The three cars have taken their drivers through the finish line, two of them being on the podium. A tribute is to be made to their technical staff who were able to produce such an impressive work to repair Marc Gené's car n°7, badly damaged during the Official Practice. A big thank you to them from the car herself under the shape of a podium second step...
The six first cars classified in the LMP1 category are diesel-powered cars. Nevertheless, it is a must to underline car #17 interesting seventh place. Actually, the Judd powered Pescarolo of the Pescarolo Sport team driven by Harold Primat, Christophe Tinseau & Benoît Tréluyer ranks first of the regular petrol-powered cars. #16's engine problems have prevented Boullion/Collard/Dumas trio to reach their target, but as a manufacturer, Pescarolo has a very positive return on this 24 Hours edition. Let's notice that Pescarolo Automobiles was one of the manufacturers the most represented on the starting grid with five cars against six for Lola!
