Following the
1992 victory, the Peugeot Talbot Sport Team, which
also won the world championship for sports cars, throws
its hat in the ring the following year. With the withdrawal
of Mazda, Porsche and Jaguar, the only real adversary
is the Toyota team. The three 905's are Evolution
1bis versions. The long awaited duel takes place.
It starts already in the qualifying sessions, with
the Peugeot and Toyota drivers each giving as good
as they get, with Peugeot having the last word. The
drivers of each team rival each other in daring and
courage. The situation is undecided until night, and
the early morning finally sees the Peugeot trio flying
towards the victory. And despite plucky resistance
by Toyota Nr. 36, Peugeot monopolises the first three
places. It's the crowning moment for the company and
its teams. |
