Peugeot 908 racing at Watkins Glen! ;)
When i was looking at an video on Endurance-Info, i spotted an 908 on the grid!, which is pretty weird as the Peugeot is an LMP!.
But what was more interesting and weird was that it was powered by an BMW engine!
Picture of it here:
Don't know what was going on there!..
PS.
This is a joke, but it's funny how much the paint scheme is taken from the 908!

Are you sure you are typing this with your beer goggle  ...
...after 1 pint, one would think he is watching Daytona Prototypes at Watkin Glen; 10 pints later, one would believe he is at Le Mans watching Peugeot 908.

That is a great photo. I kind of see what you mean about the schemes being similar to a 2007 or 2008 red-accented 908.

Wow, they are even more awkward in pictures than they are in motion. What a terrible car design, I would love to see what the streamlines look like in wind tunnel testing!

That thing is just plain ugly, and awkward, and WRONG. Kind of Lowest Common Denominator Racing...

that pic reminds me of some poorly designed 1930's tank...... just attach the gun and your competitors disappear like "debris on track"
