Pagenaud: “Definitely disappointing”

simon pagenaud will not have been able to test his skills behind the wheel of the Peugeot 908 HDi FAP n°3 this weekend. After a little over two hours of racing, the 908 driven by Pedro Lamy gave way under the weight of the kilometers, a suspension clip detaching from the hull. Irreparable. Huge disappointment for Poitevin. “ It's a huge year of work, so it's obviously disappointing, and a little hard to leave the ride so quickly, he confides to Ouest France. I devote my whole life to my preparation and to car racing, so it's a bit of a dream that has come crashing down today. I came here hoping to win, at least hoping to make a podium. Nothing happened. The hull broke, the suspension clip was torn off. A completely unusual breakage, the last of the worries we could have? It was the chassis that won Le Mans Last year it was serviced, it was checked that there were no cracks anywhere, and the part has not passed its supposed lifespan. »
