SUCCESS AT SILVERSTONE
Peugeot continued their good form with a victory in the ‘Autosport 6 Hours of Silverstone’. The event marked the 4th of 5 rounds for the Le Mans Series and the 4th of 6 rounds of the ‘Intercontinental Le Mans Cup’.
After winning the ‘Spa 1000km’ and the ‘Imola 6 Hours’, Peugeot had to fight hard around the new Silverstone circuit in front of an estimated crowd of 40,000 spectators. After a continuous battle with Audi, Peugeot took the chequered flag first, in a solid race that showed reliability, speed and performance.
Olivier Quesnel, Peugeot Sport Team Principal said, “We arrived at Silverstone with the aim of finishing, and if possible fighting for victory. We did the opposite, in fact. We had a battle on our hands at the start of the race and towards the end, we just kept it together and brought it home to the flag. It's a great team victory.”
