With just a month to go before the 2010 Le Mans 24 Hours, Team Peugeot Total is putting the finishing touches to its preparations which started the moment the flag came down on last year's race. The final phase of this build-up process is the second round of the Le Mans Series at Spa-Francorchamps, Belgium, where the three Peugeot 908 HDi FAPs and their complete driver line-ups will get in their last full-scale dress rehearsal ahead of June's clash.

Marc Gené racing with Anthony Davidson and Alex Wurz has been nominated to start the 1.000km race and feels very optimistic: “This will be an important race to see how we are and how our competitors are progressing. After winning Sebring 12 Hours we feel optimistic. Peugeot has been working very hard to get our major goal which is repeating our victory in Le Mans and Spa will be a good rehearsal for all the team. I do love racing in Spa, one of my favorite circuits with its long straights and the views. Unfortunately the race coincides with my home country Grand Prix, but I am sure Ferrari will keep me up to date with everything.”

Olivier Quesnel, Peugeot Sport Director says ahead of Spa: “If we do win, we will be delighted, but victory is not a major concern. Our aim at Spa- Francorchamps is to fine-tune everybody's respective roles, which include our pit-stop routine, refuelling, tyre changes and driver changes, which collectively promise to be decisive. We also need to work on our strategy, while our drivers will need to familiarise themselves with the 2010 field, especially with regard to the traffic and the sometimes perilous task of overtaking."
