Hey Wally, are you done yet? The thread is about the new Peugeot.
The fact that racing is going green is good. The fact that racing's going green makes the cars faster and more exciting is great. I cant wait to see what kinds of lap times Peugeot lays down at Le Mans next June.
I also like how they actually used the name push to pass to describe their system. We now have Zytek and Peugeot with KERS systems, what other manufacturers are going to this technology?

If I remember right the car is a standard 908 chassis with old bodywork. Kind of sucks for them that they can't score points at lemans or anything with the car.

^Isn't the KERS system classified as a Hybrid system? I mean both Corsa and Peugeot are calling there cars Hybrids and they both use the KERS system. And seeing how they are the only two that have announced anything relating to Hybrid at all, who else would this new hybrid rule be directed at?
