Peugeot will need to get special dispensation from the ACO to build up another car to enter into the race.
I doubt they'll have much trouble getting that dispensation.
Pug: Bonjour.I doubt they'll have much trouble getting that dispensation.
ACO: Bonjour.
Pug: Nous crashed et want to use a different chassis.
ACO: (shrug).
ACO: Mai non, against le rules unless vous have a really good reason why nous should let you.

Also note the Peugeot conking out on the penultimate lap last year with zero oil pressure, and then dribbling across the line after the winning car. The rule about there being a maximum time for the final lap (to prevent stragglers emerging from the pits just to cross the line) must have been overlooked in error....

I think we all remember the Minis being disqualified after the Monte-Carlo rally in 66 when they can came 1st 2nd and 3rd. Surprisingly the 4th place car was a Citroen......I like to think we have moved on from this.

Synopsis
Jaguar and Le Mans are synonymous in the lexicon of motor racing. Jaguar won five times between 1951 and 1957 with the legendary C and D types. Their participation then faded, but in 1984 they returned with the American-designed Group 44 XJR-5s. Two years later came TWR and in 1988 the XJR-9LM won against the strongest Porsche opposition ever. Victory in 1990 and a second in 1991 followed before TWR's final appearance with the production-based XJ220 which won its class in 1993, only to be disqualified for a technicality. This book, published to commemorate Jaguar's first win at Le Mans, captures the elation and heartbreak of those thrilling battles.
