Lol, it's just surprising after the 10000 year Audi streak. Peugeot isn't the...sportiest car company I'm sure you know...

Didn't know that you could change titles, is that a Mod-Only thing?

Didn't realize it's not over for some people yet, sorry mates...
Don't know the time changes by country off the top of my head.

It now has the spoiler alert in the title and has been moved out of the General Discussion (Lotus related) forum to the appropriate Racing Den forum.

obviously Puegot did a great job - but I don't really see the payoff for them as a company

This was basically a three year, no limit effort to win a single race

They built a great team, hired good drivers and built an excellent purpose built racecar, but what comes next

In the spoiler alert you should have also put that it was a spoiler for LeMans.

Hey my '82 505 TurboDiesel clearly benefitted from their prior race efforts, 0-60 in about 25s (well that was after the turbo was gone) and skid pad of ~.6g (new). Can't think of one thing that worked on that car after 100k, except the engine, strangely still kind of liked it. Was great for tailgaters, just drop a gear and floor it, couldn't even see them in the rear view...
