155. The Entry at Sebring and Beyond

Monday, February 15th, 2010

Thank someone (S.A.?) for Peugeot. Otherwise, there’d be little of interest in this LMP1 entry. Of course, the rumor was (and Murphy is big on rumors) that Peugeot is the reason there’s no Audi, the Frog firm having nixed an ACO plan to approve a “transitional R15.”
