Peugeot Sport this weekend took the first two places at the 12 Hours of Sebring, the American Le Mans Series opening race, and Aston Martin took the third place. Drayson Racing‘s Lola-Judd driven by Emanuele Piro was running second in the early stages of the race, but had to fall back because of mechanical problems.
This was an important victory for Peugeot in preparation for Le Mans. Aston Martin and Drayson provided strong opposition and forced the French team to push their limits. Even though these are very encouraging results, Peugeot’s main competition at Le Mans will come from Audi and their new R15 TDi Plus, and it’s only safe to imagine they’ll put up a serious fight to make up for last year’s failure.
