This Wednesday, from 9 a.m., a meeting was held between Peugeot Sport, represented by Bruno Famin, and the president of the Automobile Club de l?Ouest, Jean-Claude Plassart. The latter, to avoid a complaint from Peugeot, tried to get the French team to accept the conformity of the Audi R15. But Peugeot, which believes it has already been cheated at Sebring, does not want to be fooled once again, in the most important race of the year. This is how the team expressed its wish to lodge an official complaint with the ACO. This complaint will most certainly be rejected and should then be brought to the Fédération Internationale de l?Automobile. A few hours before the start of the free trials of 24 Hours of Le Mans, the Le Mans race did not need that.
