Le Mans: Spider Cup Champion to drive the Le Mans-winning Peugeot 908

From Peugeot Sport

The winner of the third edition of the THP Spider Cup, 27-year old Frenchman Grégory Guilvert, is scheduled to drive the Peugeot 908 HDi FAP on Wednesday, October 28.

Following in the footsteps of previous THP Spider Cup winners Dino Lunardi (France) and Simon Moulton (Great Britain), Grégory Guilvert will get to drive a Peugeot 908 at a test session in the south of France as the reward for his victory in the 2009 series.

This run will take place at Le Castellet’s HTTT facilities on Wednesday, October 28, which is 10 days ahead of the final round of the series at Le Mans Bugatti (November 7).

Guilvert’s run at Le Castellet in the 908 HDi FAP will slot into a test session organised there along with the other Peugeot drivers as the team prepares for 2010.

Before the trip to the south of France, he was given a chance to familiarise himself with the car and team at Peugeot Sport’s Vélizy headquarters, near Paris, on Tuesday, October 20.
