Watched the 24 hours of Le Mans and saw the similar type of failures to all 4 Peugeot's today. Does anyone have any info on what part or component might have failed in all these cars? By the camera shots, it looked like the same component since the fires were all just forward of the right rear tires.

All the same, except for the tub failure on the #3... |

Any other problems Yeah, I think you're right. Too bad Tom missed seeing the corner worker frantically waving the white flag that a slow car was ahead. He might have been charged with destroying a work of art if he hit the Bimmer!  |

I understand that it was piston broke on each of the cars............. And in other news, someone was very naughty and hacked the ACO site during the race....... |
