Peugeot announced this morning that it would be taking one of the new Peugeot 908 HDi cars to Paul Ricard for the official Le Mans test on March 25,26. It’s interesting to note that 1 car and six of seven drivers will be coming along for the session. The entire team, save one driver are making the trip.
