Le Mans: The Ultimate French Motorsport Festival
Le Mans isn't just a race—it's a celebration of endurance, national pride, and automotive excellence. For many fans, cheering for PEUGEOT is a lifelong tradition.
“It’s comparable to the Olympic Games or the Football World Cup in terms of recognition,” said Jean-Marc Finot, Senior VP of Stellantis Motorsport. “Le Mans is our home market. Statistically, 20% of spectators come to Le Mans in a PEUGEOT!”
The energy is palpable as fans gather for Scrutineering and cheer on the sleek 9X8s rolling through downtown streets. PEUGEOT’s commitment to their fans is clear: “We owe it to them to give our best,” Finot adds.
Improved Preparation and Stronger Momentum
After a challenging 2024 season, the team focused hard on turning lessons into improvements. Now, with greater reliability, sharper performance, and stronger team cohesion, PEUGEOT is optimistic.
“In Qatar, we had a decent race despite some misfortune. At Spa, we placed both cars in Hyperpole and were competing for the top-5 in the first third of the race,” explained Technical Director Olivier Jansonnie. “These are details, but given the fierce pace and competitiveness, they’re critical.”
Driver Mikkel Jensen echoed the optimism: “We have improved our performance between Qatar and Spa-Francorchamps. We haven't been rewarded at the start of the season, but we had top-5 pace. That’s a good sign for Le Mans.”
Personal Stories and Fan-Favorite Drivers
Part of what makes this team so endearing is the human side of racing. Each driver brings a personal story that connects deeply with fans.
Paul Di Resta, participating for the seventh time, said: “I love Le Mans week—the atmosphere, the fans—it puts everyone in a good mood, and we’ll need that support!”
Young driver Malthe Jakobsen shared his journey: “I first came to Le Mans in 2010 with my dad—I was six. Ten years later, I raced in Road to Le Mans. The week is long, but I’m still young and in awe of this race and its atmosphere.”
A Race of Unpredictability and Passion
From technical preparation to human endurance, everything about Le Mans is extreme. “It’s an incredible technical proving ground and test of operational excellence where the smallest detail can cause a sporting disaster,” Finot shared. But the passion remains unmatched. “It’s the holy grail for any motorsport enthusiast.”
