In the face of Peugeot’s mounting financial crisis, the Peugeot Sport team has reached out to numerous privateer teams in hopes of securing some financial help to run 908 semi-privateer teams. Most of Europe is in the midst of a serious financial crisis and France is one of the hardest hit. PSA Peugeot Citroen Group has already laid off over 6,000 workers and in the light of this many see their expenses in motorsports as frivolous.
I do not expect Peugeot to pull out from the 24 Hours of Le Mans, but their involvement in the full season of the FIA WEC is now in serious question. We hope for the sake of competition that Peugeot figures out a way to make the full season for the 2012 FIA WEC schedule otherwise we will have a very boring year of racing.
