We revealed the information in AUTOHebdo, Peugeot confirmed a little later, it is now the FIA's turn to look into the two successive accidents involving the Peugeot 908 during testing. Recall of facts. Last month, Nicolas Minassian took off aboard the new 908 on the Paul Ricard HTTT circuit. Before Christmas, it was Marc Gené who performed the same antics in Spain. If the driver comes out unscathed, the car does not. Such an incident obviously worries the governing bodies of motorsport. Peugeot met with an FIA consultant, Peter Wright and the Automobile Club de l'Ouest to confirm the facts and discuss the causes of the accident. We do not know more about this meeting. The Lion firm contented itself with a sanitized version: “the driver lost the car”.
