Peugeot rejected, the conflict continues

Endurance fans are blaming the blow. Where many appreciate the 24 Hours for its “simplicity”, here the world of endurance begins to imitate other motor sports, the F1 For example. And this confrontation Peugeot -Audi looks in every way like the “broadcaster gang” affair, which hit the headlines in F1 a few weeks ago.

The decision of the ACO, which did not respond to Peugeot's complaint, is not surprising. In fact, the organization already responded to the French firm a few weeks ago, declaring the R15 compliant. These same cars then passed technical checks on Monday without incident. Peugeot, which expected this decision from the ACO, will therefore continue its fight by appealing to the FIA.

It is therefore behind the scenes, and after the race, that the validity of the Audis will be judged. If they win this Sunday and are then dispossessed of this goodness, there is no doubt that endurance will not come out of it increased.
