Pug back at LeMans 24

Jun 14, 2005 10 Replies

Hi,



This just in, I've heard it on the radio @6PM (local time), 4PM GMT : Peugeot announced its intention to take part to the mythic Le Mans 24 race in 2007, with a new Diesel-powered car. All I know is the car should have a particle filter. Knowing what Peugeot guys are able of, could well announce some nice racing !

Not 307 based I hope.

think you will find that peugeot made in britain and peugeot made in france differ somewhat you get the picture?

I was disapointed to see that the Taurus Sports Lola with the Volkswagen V10 diesel wasn't refined a bit for this year. One of it's major problems was too much torque; it was gearbox failure that led to their retirement last year.

Perhaps VW Audi put their oar in and stopped them using the V10 as they allegedly have plans for a Le Mans diesel of their own.

Hi,

Indeed ? I've heard of poor painting if built in UK, is that true ? Just 'cause my parents' '02 206 is badly painted, damn they even spray better @ renault's ! And BTW, they don't build 307s in Ryton, according to the PSA's annual report for yr 2003, published in 2004.

We have never said we build our 307's at ryton g.t. ??? all the best mark (p. s. and never seen it in any mag saying otherwise!!)

Hi Mark,

Sorry, I certainly took it the same way, with Keith writing he hopes the next Pug LM prototype isn't based on the 307 (T5) and Jeff adding UK-built Pugs were different from France-built ones, I guess I was led wrong.

Have a nice evening :-)

i know i know basically anything built in the uk peugeot plant has a history of being built badly i have been there i have seen the staff oh yes i'm sure as anywhere else quite a few are competent but in this game you all end up tarred with the same brush i get the same working at a main dealer we have 20 techs

5 are complete arses therefore we all are :-(

Hi,

Really ?

Right. That's the principle of collective liability, or pack of buffalos, the fastest cannot run faster than the slower.

So surely, survival of the fittest. Get rid of the 5 arses! It worked where I am.

manager has these five arses for 7 pound an hour he likes the economy of it
