Peugeot returns

FRENCH carmaker Peugeot is to compete in the Dakar Rally in 2015 for the first time in 25 years, organizers announced yesterday. “We welcome the return of the lion (Peugeot symbol) to the Dakar,” rally director Etienne Lavigne told a press conference called to unveil the details of next year’s race. Peugeot was dominant in the gruelling rally in the late 1980s winning four times from 1987, but pulled out in 1990. Former world rally champion Carlos Sainz and Dakar legend Stephane Peterhansel, an 11-time winner, are expected to be in Peugeot’s 2015 drivers’ line-up.  Next year’s Dakar Rally will start and end in Buenos Aires, covering 9,000 kilometers.
