Team Altran Peugeot Ready for the 24H Dubai 2018

With close to 100 cars on the event’s entry list and no less than 14 cars entered in the top-rated and competitive TCR class, this is perhaps the biggest challenge ever the French team has ever faced. Steering up the champions’ spirit, the team will aim to perform at its best in both the TCR class and the Touring Cars overall standings. Eight fired-up expert drivers will join Team Altran Peugeot to share the steering wheel of the two TCR class race cars in Dubai:

Peugeot 308 Racing Cup #308:

Guillaume ROMAN (France – Overall Driver Champion of the 24H SERIES in 2016)

Kim HOLMGAARD (Denmark – 3^rd Place Overall Drivers Championship in 2017)

Michael CARLSEN (Denmark – 3^rd Place Touring Cars Drivers Championship in 2017)

Olivier BARON (France – an experienced driver who has multiple starts at the 24H DUBAI)

Peugeot 308 Racing Cup #908:

Lionel AMROUCHE – an experienced 24H SERIES racer)

Cyril CALMON (France – an experienced 24H SERIES racer)

Aram MARTROUSSIAN (Iran – experienced endurance racer, a flagship for racing in Iran)

Henrik SØRENSEN (Denmark – an experienced 24H SERIES drivers and Peugeot expert)

The team, Altran Peugeot, has been racing with the brand new TCR-homologated race car from Peugeot Sport: the Peugeot 308 Racing Cup. Building on the successful start to the season achieved in Dubai last year, the team enjoyed a perfect result with top two ranks in the TCR class for their first race with the new 308 Racing Cup cars sporting the #308 and #908 numbers, the 12H RED BULL RING. With further perfect 1^st and 2^nd finishes at the 24H PORTIMAO and 24H COTA USA rounds, the team achieved what it then seemed to be unfeasible in its first season with the new cars: winning the 2017 24H SERIES Championship in the TCR Class, and the Overall Touring Cars standings, as well as the new-for-2017 Championship of the Continents, rewarding the teams achieving the best results in Dubai, Europe, and the USA.
