Despite the fact that Peugeot Sport has withdrawn for endurance racing and the 24 Hours of Le Mans, life goes on in Velizy near Paris.

The turbo diesel and hybrid 908s have been parked in the museum, unfortunately, weeks prior to the start of the 2012 World Endurance Championship.

But several other motorsport project keep most Peugeot Sport employees busy. They are especially geared towards customer cars for rallying and road racing.

Peugeot has appointed Bruno Famin to oversee all these projects.

An engineer, Famin, 50, was the technical director since 2005. He replaces Olivier Quesnel who has left the company yo join OAK Racing, another endurance team based in France.
