Peugeot has taken pole position in Saturday's Le Mans 24 hour race.The Peugeot 908 HDi FAP racing car has a Diesel engine and runs on a diesel particulate filter, just like Peugeot's top-end road cars.
The 908 was always expected to be fast: with 700 bhp, it is 50 bhp up on the rival Audi R10 (also a diesel). The Audi has a proven track record at Le Man so we will have to wait and see if the Peugeot will last the full race distance.
