🗣️'It is a factory programme and we are focussed on that, but it doesn’t mean that if a customer is interested we wouldn’t study the case.' Could we see some customer-run Peugeot 9X8s on the grid in next year's FIAWEC? Full story ⬇️
The French manufacturer is ready to listen to privateers who might want to run one or more 9X8s, Peugeot Sport boss Jean-Marc Finot revealed“If we have the opportunity to have more Peugeots on the grid we would be quite happy,” said Finot, who also heads up motorsport across the Stellantis group of which Peugeot is a part.
“It is a factory programme and we are focussed on that, but it doesn’t mean that if a customer is interested we wouldn’t study the case,” he said. Finot’s comments represent a change in rhetoric from Peugeot, which has always billed the 9X8 as a strictly factory programme.He stressed that so far there had been no discussions about adding to the Peugeot roster and laid down no timescale for when the supply of customer cars might be possible.
It loaned a 908 HDi to Pescarolo Sport for Le Mans in 2009 and subsequently to ORECA in 2010 and ’11.
