Peugeot dominates the grid for start of the 78th 24 Hours of Le Mans.
For the fourth time in as many years, a Peugeot 908 HDi FAP has taken the pole position for tomorrow’s race. The team’s three cars will be occupying the first three places, just ahead of Team Oreca’s Peugeot in fourth. Changeable weather on the second day of qualifying prevented a new battle for the top spot but allowed Team Peugeot Total to concentrate on perfecting its setup for the start of the race on Saturday.
The Peugeot 908s have monopolized the first two rows of the grid for tomorrow’s race, with the three factory cars, No 3, the No 1 and then the No 2 ahead of the Peugeot of Team Oreca. Pedro Lamy, Marc Gené and Franck Montagny are the nominated drivers who will start Saturday’s race.
