the Peugeot 908 was a great car , and a great effort by Peugeot.
But...some silly development chief authorised the melting con rods for 2010.
I hate that Audi lot , always have but for the 2010 le Mans debacle Peugeot have only themselves to blame. Many corporations would have fired M. Quesnel and certainly the chief development engineer. I am surprised that they were not , to this day.

Audi will kill the 908's this year! I like Peugeot though, there cars are awesome and have breathtaking futuristic technology in them. The 908 is awesome too, but I hope the R15 beats the 908 this year at Le mans.
the french from peugeot should work with americans from GM or ford for example....they have very stylish and manevrable cars...i tested a lot of peugeots and they lacked engine power and a bit of american insanity
Audi came up with the GREAT idea of coming up with a DIESEL sports car and it rocked the auto racing world. Peugeot copied the idea, came up with a faster car, but forgot about the "24 hours" aspect of the 24 hours of Le Mans. Not trying to brag too much, but Audi is still untouchable (by a little, but still came out on top).
So Peugeot didn't 'kill' Audi in 2007, now its 2008 and this weekend we're gonna see what happens! Personally, I would like to see the Porsche RS Spyder to kick them ass BOTH but thats unlikely to happen ;-)
P.S.@LolaJudd: Good to think about saving fuel, but it surely was not the ALMS who invented Diesel Technology!!!
And im kinda sure that the 956/962 would be able to keep up with todays electronic powered cars and even blast them off. Those Engines were really powerful with pure muscles.
Maybe i exaggerate but im sure about that. And Porsche really got the technics and the experience to tie on their Le Mans past.
That is the best looking Le Mans car since the 70's. I actually think that Peugeot will win Le Mans this year. The reason they didn't win last year was because the power steering failed, so they had to go slower through the corners.
Audi races with an LMP Car in LeMans since the late 90s without a break, so they had a lot of time to develope their car. The R10 is not a completely new car, it uses very much technology developed through the R8-years. Peugeot just came with a absolutely new car and was closer than I ever expected, so I bet in a few years the WILL be able to beat Audi. However, Diesel engines destroy the real motorsport, no matter if they are more economic or not. I want to hear screaming high-end engines :).
TDI is durable thats how Audi wins Peugeot can stand a chance with a stronger and slightly detuned engine this is almost the same for the roadgoing Audis they can do hundreds of thousands of mileage and still can run
yeah cos 5.5 Liter Diesel Bi-turbocharged against 4liter NA petrol engines, there is no equal terms between diesel and petrol engines in the LMP1 category.
finally audi faces another great prototype, and this race was better than it was few years ago... OMGG... come Back BMW, Porsche and Mercedes with new LMP1 cars.
LOL Audi killer?? I didn't see it during Le Mans... Peugeot still has LOTS of things to learn before declare themselves as Audi beaters!!! Audi FOREVER!! Vorsprung Durch Technik!!!
an awesome go? audi were sandbagging throughout the whole event, while the peugeots were flat out. had #2 audi not crashed the first peugeot would have been 12 laps behind! thats a lot to make up. cant see it in just one year to be honest. would like to be proved wrong tho!
Audi won 6 times from the last 7 le Mans 24h race, because the big names (Jaguar, Mercedes, Porsche, Peugeot, Toyota) are missing from these races in that class, otherwise the famous "famous" r8 and r10 probably has not a single victory.
The 06 Audi le mans wasnt as quick as the other cars it was about 2 seconds off the pace, the reliabilty is insane with them and being a diesel they're much more fuel efficient.
Audi is great but now they have a really serious concurrent with Peugeot. Remember the 80's, everybody said that Audi powned all the concurrents with the S1 Quattro. Then arrived Peugeot with 205 Turbo 16, and beated them clearly. Audi stopped Rally 1 year after, maybe disguted not being able to compete against the 205! ;)

No you will find that class of rally was banned because they went way to fast and to many people died.
You re right in 1 way but when group B was banned, Audi already left since 1 year. They prepared a return with a more powerfull one, as Peugeot did in the same time with the 205 but these 2 cars never took place in a race. In 1985 Audi won only 1 race with Rohrl(San Remo), the Peugeot 205 was dominating everything.
Audi may not be invincible, but they have my respect for bringing diesel into Le mans. Same thing goes about their participation in the B-group rally back in the days, they deserve respect for bringing in new technology.

Hey im not against Audi, i own a '85 Quattro Coupe but Le Mans is just getting boring in LMP1 if this go further.
