The Peugeot Sport Meetings confirm their success year after year and the low budget / great pleasure equation attracts nearly 200 drivers to our starting grids., enthuses Laurent Guyot, head of customer competition for the French manufacturer.  

The Sprint category will have 33 vehicles. The peloton will be led by Kevin Ropars, outgoing vice-champion. The Champion of this 208 Racing Cup will be loaned by Peugeot Sport, for the following season, a 308 Racing Cup ready to race as well as six commitments for the 2019 season.
