Telemetry
All of the data from the fleet of 908 HDi FAP cars are stored in these computers. The telemetry stations are positioned in the back of the garage during testing or races.

Inspection
The conformity of the teeth on a gear is checked using the profile projector. This machine is just part of the inspection facilities available at Peugeot Sport. The goal is to ensure total quality in each batch of parts, and every individual component, required to assemble the 908 HDi FAP.

This model allows the designers to check the fit of the parts and to simulate the relative movement of components, such as suspension travel. This office includes designers for aerodynamics, transmission, suspension, brakes, composites...
