History
The stunning Peugeot 908 HDi FAP was designed to compete in the 24 Hours of Le Mans and the Le Mans Series. The Peugeots dominated the 2007 Le Mans series winning all six races. The team qualified first and third for the 2007 24 Hours of Le Mans with the #8 car finishing second behind the race winning Audi R10 TDi.
In the 2008 Le Mans series, the #7 and #8 cars secured four race wins in the five race season. At the 24 Hours of Le Mans race the three 908s qualified first, second and third.
