Default Peugeot 908 wins 1,000 km of Monza

Victory in 1,000 km of Monza

Marc Gene and Nicolas Minassian won the race with the # 7 908 while Pedro Lamy and Stéphane Sarrazin finished 3rd with the # 8 908. Second place in P1 went to Emmanuel Collard and Christophe Bouillon with the # 16 Pescarolo 01 Judd. The Pescarolo Sport team will have a revised body for the 1,000 km of Valencia next month.

# 8 car in qualifying



The # 15 Lola B07/10 Judd of Charouz Racing Systems was one of the top P1 cars, but it got spun by the # 13 factory Courage LC70 AER. Lengthy repairs kept it from the front of the field.
