The Le Mans 24H Museum goes Peugeot

Two days after the French Moto GP, the 24 Hours of Le Mans circuit is set for the big race of the year on 11 and 12 June. As a member of the ACO Club, Endurance-Info was invited to the evening presentation of the 24 Hours of Le Mans by the Club, where the room was full. On this occasion, several information were distilled.    The 24H Museum will be on Peugeot time from 21 May. The French brand, which is celebrating the thirtieth anniversary of its victory this year, will be back in competition next year in Sarthe. The exhibition is called Allure Le Mans.    The Peugeot 9X8 will of course be present at the Museum, as will the 905, which won in 1992 in the hands of Derek Warwick, Yannick Dalmas and Mark Blundell. The 908 which won in 2009 with Marc Gené, Alexander Wurz and David Brabham will also be on display.    This exhibition will tell the story of the Peugeot adventure at Le Mans, starting in 1926 with the 174S. That year, two models were at the start of the event. The Darl'Mat adventure at Le Mans will be on the menu of the exhibition as well as the Peugeot CD.   The owners of a ticket for the 24H of Le Mans will have free access to the 24H Museum which for the occasion extends its opening hours. On the two test nights, the museum will be open until midnight and until 2am on Saturday night.   Matra will also be in the spotlight to celebrate the 50th anniversary of Henri Pescarolo and Graham Hill's victory.
