Is Peugeot on for Sebring for sure? If so, might they bring the hybrid in light of the announcement of the Ferrari partnership for KERS? |

This is from less than a month ago, Quote: |
What Peugeot will be doing though is testing, lots and lots of testing, Serge Saulnier confirmed that the team have major race simulation tests programmed for every month to the start of the season, that programme will not though include the pre-season test at Sebring, though the 12 Hours itself is on the race programme at present.
| but the program has yet to meet final approval which should happen sometime this month. Here
Possibly at the Autosport International Show from NEC Birmingham starting the 8th. Here and entry to show confirmed.
Just wondering if the hook-up with Ferrari might create/help with the opportunity for us to see the HY on the ALMS grid often in 09', away from F-1, while being scored and the possibility of running against the Zytek unit head to head?!

I have received 2 ALMS emails in the last 24 hrs that all but confirm 2 Peugeots for Sebring. The first selling advance tickets pronounces a 3 way battle for the overall win between Audi, Peugeot, & Acura. The second and most telling IMO is the email selling the event poster in which a 908 is prominently featured as the main car on the poster. | |

Its official. Two 908's will come to Sebring then three will go to Spa in prep for Le Mans. Brabs will be a pilot of one of the three 908's expected at Spa & Le Mans. We all know if they requested 3 entries for either race, they got them!  Program .............. Drivers.... New Livery theme

Well it seems that Peugeot is serious about coming over for Petit as when asked at Spa today about their participation at Portimao, Olivier Quesnel replied with a yes and brought up their desire to come to Petit! Here

Well today there is official word out of Braselton the Peugeot will be at Petit and with 2 908 HDi FAPs. Here
Now that Peugeot has officially confirmed I wonder/hope the Audi is not to far behind, to defend their stomping grounds, per se!

Scott A. mentions other entries citing the "rumor mill" which I don't think he would do unless he was feeling quite good about the chances. I hope Audi & the Lola Astons come over to challenge the 908's! | |
