  • Peugeot 3008 DKR: Nuovi Artigli Per La Dakar 2017
    Peugeot 3008 DKR: nuovi artigli per la Dakar 2017 Per sfoggiare immagine e muscoli da rally-raid, il team sportivo del Leone ha preparato quest’anno la nuova Peugeot 3008 DKR 2017. La “belva” da competizione è una visione estrema del nuovo SUV 3008 (il suo lancio commerciale è previsto dopo il Salone di Parigi). L’indole rabbiosa ad alte prestazioni della 3008 DKR è assai evidente e allo stesso tempo riesce a mantenere una certa eleganza. Anche per la scelta minimalista delle decorazioni: nero, grigio e qualche tocco di rosso esaltano l’aspetto techno, soprattutto nella vista di 3/4 posteriore. Ad ogni modo, spiccano la cellula nera “Black Diamond” e le varie prese d’aria. Dal padiglione la modanatura mette in risalto la linea di cintura e i fianchi possenti con i pneumatici All-Terrain T/A della BFGoodrich. Ai lati trovano posto, visibili, anche le ruote di scorta, come ben visibile è la firma della Red Bull, sponsor insieme a Total. Un’evoluzione, quella della 3008, artisticamente rappresentata dalla breve “spray story” del video. Peugeot 3008 DKR: nuovi artigli per la Dakar 2017 Quanto alla tecnica, Peugeot Sport si è concentrata parecchio sulle sospensioni (geometria e ammortizzatori), ovviamente per adattare il loro comportamento a sollecitazioni impietose, quindi sul raffreddamento e sul contenimento del peso della vettura, a bilanciare la presenza dei rinforzi nonché all’utilizzo di un impianto di climatizzazione, che sarà assai apprezzato dagli equipaggi. Un grande protagonista è il motore e la sua preparazione, innanzitutto per gli adattamenti richiesti dal nuovo regolamento FIA, che per i veicoli a 2 ruote motrici motorizzati Diesel riduce il diametro della flangia di strozzatura dell’aria da 39 a 38 mm, il che costa una perdita di circa 20 cavalli.

  • Sébastien Loeb Rejoint La « Dream Team » Du Team Peugeot Total
    Sébastien Loeb rejoint la « Dream Team » du Team Peugeot Total Le plus grand pilote de rallye de tous les temps, Sébastien Loeb, va relever l’un des plus grands défis de son exceptionnelle carrière en rejoignant la Dream Team de Peugeot lors du Dakar, qu’il disputera pour la première fois en janvier prochain. Le nonuple champion du monde des rallyes et recordman de la course de Pikes Peak va rallier le commando des PEUGEOT 2008 DKR pour se lancer, en janvier, dans l’extraordinaire aventure que représentent le Dakar et ses treize étapes semées d’embûches en Argentine et en Bolivie. Il rejoindra alors Stéphane Peterhansel, Carlos Sainz et Cyril Despres afin de composer l’équipe de rêve du Team Peugeot Total. Titulaire d’un taux de réussite sans précédent avec 46,2 % de victoires en WRC, Sébastien Loeb est prêt à relever ce nouveau défi à 41 ans : « Je n’ai découvert le sport automobile qu’à 18 ans lorsque j’ai disputé mes premiers rallyes. Depuis lors, je me suis intéressé à toutes les formes de sport automobile et le Dakar en fait partie. Je pense que c’est un grand défi que de disputer cette épreuve et de piloter dans le désert ». « Le Dakar est très différent du type de courses auxquelles je me consacre en ce moment. Ce sera très long, plus de deux semaines ! et il me faudra de l’endurance pour gérer la voiture sur une telle distance. C’est une autre approche de la course. Je vais découvrir tout ça en janvier .

  • In Touch the Official Magazine of Dunlop Motorsport [ ] Le Mans Race Edition
    IN TOUCH THE OFFICIAL MAGAZINE OF DUNLOP MOTORSPORT [ www.injection.tv ] LE MANS RACE EDITION Dunlop came away from the Le Mans 24 hours delighted with the performance of its dry and light wet tyres after a difficult race in which the changing condi- tions contributed to the overall result. “We were pretty competitive in all conditions other than full wet conditions,” says Dunlop’s chief tyre technician Matthew Simpson of the LMP2 tyres. “On the slick tyres and the light wet tyres, we had a performance advantage, but in full wet conditions we struggled to get temperature into our compounds. The Essex car had engine trouble so we were never going to do better than we did, but we have to look at the tyre perform- ance in wet conditions and make it better. “The Virgo Ferrari team were very strong and our development construction at the rear allowed us to double stint safely. There was no sign of difficulty in doing so, and there was zero deterioration from the first lap to the last in a double stint, according to the drivers. Le Mans podiums for Essex Perhaps we could have triple stinted, but we didn’t test that before the race and during the race was not the time to try. Porsche and Farnbacher Ferrari “The Creation team had four punctures and three of them were caused by debris. There was not enough left of the tyre to establish the cause of the fourth.” The 2008 edition of the Le Mans 24 hours produced was difficult to drive because sometimes the power was everything from a record breaking qualifying and race there, other times it wasn’t and we couldn’t know what to John Nielsen, Casper Elgaard and Sascha Maassen pace, a record crowd of 258,500 turning out in eager expect.

  • Programme Peugeot Sport 2008
    PROGRAMME PEUGEOT SPORT 2008 - Press release - Peugeot 908 HDi FAP - Technical Data - Calendar - Drivers - The team - Press officer - Motor Sport Promotional Activities 2008 PROGRAMME A YEAR OF MANY CHALLENGES The 2007 season turned out to be one of the most rewarding ever for Peugeot Sport which launched four different new cars on the world motor sport scene, from the factory programme with the 908 HDi FAP to its package of promotional formulae with the 207 LW THP, 207 Super 2000 and Spider THP. The lessons learned by the team while finding its marks last year will be implemented in 2008 and all its energy will be devoted to building on that experience to achieve its objectives. This time last year, under the leadership of Michel Barge, Peugeot Sport organised a dynamic presentation of the new 908 HDi FAP to announce its modest objectives for the season ahead. Following the car's initial gestation, which was rapid to say the least, Team Peugeot Total enjoyed a memorable season which brought its fair share of surprises, satisfactions and passion, not to mention the unrelenting toil which enabled it to secure results well beyond its expectations and targets. Indeed, never in Peugeot's history had a competition car won out of the box, yet the 908 HDi FAP claimed victory in its debut race at Monza before going on to clinch the 2007 Le Mans Series. Team Peugeot Total won all six rounds, started from pole position each time and posted every fastest race lap, not to mention its unhoped-for performance at Le Mans where it started from pole position before taking second place at the end of the 24-hour race.

  • SCX® PRESENTS the PEUGEOT 908 Hdi FAP
    The French manufacturer's bid to topple the AudiR10 which has won the last three editions of Le Mans comes to SCX® circuits SCX® PRESENTS THE PEUGEOT 908 HDi FAP Peugeot technology and reliability are combined in a car with an imposing appearance The new Peugeot 908 HDi FAP from SCX® is here to challenge its rival, the all-powerful Audi R10, on the track. This is a car designed to deliver a high top speed, with strikingly aerodynamic lines. Its front end is divided into three parts, with the headlights at the sides and the driver's cockpit in the middle. Between these sections are two enormous air intakes which, in the real car, serve to cool the diesel engine. The sponsor's logo stands out right at the front, with the French manufacturer's grey lion silhouette underneath. Although it is a racing car, the Peugeot 908 HDi FAP from SCX® is equipped with headlights to enable it to race all night in endurance events. The SCX® model, just like the real car, has indicators. The decoration of this front section includes the French flag on one side and the car's race number on the other. The size and shape of the windscreen give the driver a wide field of vision, only interrupted by the team logo at the top. A chunky windscreen wiper is mounted vertically in case it is needed. The SCX® model features air intakes above the wheels on both sides, with the wing mirrors just behind them. The Peugeot 908 HDi FAP from SCX® also includes the wheels with a red or blue – depending on which side the car is seen from – centre bolt, emulating the colours of the French flag.

  • Le Mans L'incredibile Vittoria Delle Peugeot Alla 24 Ore Di Le Mans Nel 2009 È Un Fatto Storico
    sommario numero 3 - 2009 Peugeot 908 HDi FAP® 2 a Le Mans L'incredibile vittoria delle Peugeot alla 24 ore di Le Mans nel 2009 è un fatto storico. La prima partecipazione di Peugeot a questa competizione risale al 1926 con una 174 S. Festeggiati i 10 anni del 4 Club Presso la Galérie Peugeot a metà settembre si è tenuto il raduno nazionale, l'occasione per celebrare il primo decennale del Club. Le Mans: un successo che si ripete Spesso quando si parla di sport ci si affida alle statistiche, alle medie, che sia calcio, ciclismo o automobilismo.
