Poor Article.. even wiki gives better informations http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peugeot_908_HDi_FAP#908_Hybrid_Electric Fail… this is not the 908 HDi FAP. check the cars livery, it is in fact the the Electric Hybrid 908 HY. nowhere, is it marked HDi FAP…

Poor Article.. even wiki gives better informations

Righteous dude! :) I need one of these. Awesome! Righteous dude! :) I need one of these.

This allows for the engineers, a real world application to constantly make the technology more reliable, more efficient, etc... Because face it if it doesn't make it to the finish line the technology is useless. Plus racing puts the engineers in a fly or die situation to make the technolgy as efficient as possible.

And racing is a logical test bed for budding technologies. That Peugeot saw fit to put up a hybrid for racing is a historical milestone and means that they found ways to make speed by means other than just internal combustion, which is a good thing for all of us in the long run. If this car is successful in it's racing season, it will mean a series of more robust hybrid technologies trickling down to the consumer. By the way, it's Le Mans....your "Mons" is an entirely different thing. Racing has historically spawned technology used in cars sold to consumers for decades.

In Formula 1 it would increase the number of laps the car could stay our for meaning more time in clear air when the other cars pit.
