Preview Le Mans 24 Hours (June 6-13, 2010)
On the momentum of its one-two finish at Le Mans this time last year, Peugeot is on the hunt for a second straight win in the prestigious French competition. Twelve months of hard preparation work since June 2009 have kept the team under pressure in its bid to secure repeat success on this uniquely popular event which attracts more than 250,000 spectators annually.
Team Peugeot Total has succeeded in qualifying its two 908 HDi FAPs on the front row for this weekend’s 12-hour clash. Three qualifying laps each bagged front row starts for Marc Gené and Nicolas Minassian…

At midday, with only three hours of racing remaining laps, the two front-running Peugeot 908 HDi FAPs now enjoy a cushion of seven laps after the N°1 Audi spent almost 15 minutes in its pits.
