Hélary to drive for Peugeot

By

In Oschersleben it will be Eric Hélary’s turn to drive the Peugeot 407 run by the Peugeot Sport Denmark team. The French car made its maiden appearance in the championship at Spa, in the hands of Soheil Ayari.

It was not an easy weekend for them, as Ayari suffered from a spin during the first race and retired in the second because of a techincal problem.

Hélary, 39 years old from Paris, is a Touring Car veteran, having claimed a number of race wins in the French and the German championships. He is currently Peugeot Sport’s works driver in the French Supertourisme, and his tie to the French Manufacturer dates back to 1993, when he won the 24 Hours of Le Mans in a Peugeot 905.

He will test the Peugeot 407 just before the meeting in Oschersleben, on August 22nd at the Lausitz Eurospeedway.
