Test races for
the Peugeot 308
at Spa
The event at Spa-Francorchamps
saw a very interesting race debut:
the Peugeot 308 Racing Cup car
made its first race appearance after
having taken part in the BoP test
at Valencia in March. Run by
Sébastien Loeb Racing, the two 308
cars of Peugeot Sport were
entrusted to the expert Grégory
Guilvert, who has conducted the
car’s development programme, and
young gun Jimmy Clairet. The
Belgian outing was extremely
positive, as both cars ran trouble-
free, finishing both races, with
Clairet even making it to Q2 in
qualifying.
“
This was for us a test race to try to
evaluate the possibilities of a car
which has not initially been
designed for TCR,
” stated Franck
Tiné from SLR, “
and we are very
satisfied with the outcome and with
the useful info gathered. We have
appreciated the experience a lot,
together with the warm welcome we
received, and were impressed with
the level of the series. Clearly, such
a fast track as Spa wasn’t the ideal
circuit for a car equipped by a
smaller engine (1.6 turbo) and we
suffered on the straights and in re-
acceleration, but the dynamic
behavior of the car was excellent and
proves that the 308 has a great
basis
.”
Leopard Racing’s Jean-Karl Vernay
and Stefano Comini
finished 1-2 in Spa Race 2
