Never been keen on diesels myself but I might make an exception in this case.

Interesting dilemma. To my generation I think Le Mans genuinely does mean being Sarrazin or Kristensen in their diesels more than being Steve McQueen in a 917 - that is what I associate with Le Mans (along with the McLaren F1s and CLK GTRs from when I was a teenager). So if I was a billionaire who wanted to play at being an LMP racer I probably would be tempted.

In reality, I'd far rather spend the money racing something modern in GTE Am or blasting around in a classic open topped Group 6 car.

Oooh, some good racing car porn in the back there. Love that sensor rack for quick changes. biggrin

Not cheap though (who would've guessed!), £1.5m plus the cost of Peugeot Sport support to, you know, start and run it etc.

Yes i find these lines intriguing :

“Starting and running this vehicle calls for specific equipment, third-party software licences and skills. The seller commits to providing the necessary technical support for a period of three years. This service will be provided at Peugeot Sport’s normal rates for technical support”.

So my questions are what happens after the said three years ? and what will be the cost of Peugeot technical support. ?

After 3 years you'd probably be able to make a tender offer for the equipment and software as it will probably be outdated.
