Two months after the 2008 Le Mans 24 Hours, Team Peugeot Total was eager to pull off a win in Germany where its two 908 HDi FAPs both qualified on the front row of the grid for today's race.

The result also hands Peugeot and its crews the provisional lead in both championships.

| Second place for Minassian at Le Mans |
What an amazing finale to an absolutely thrilling weekend! When rain started to fall once more over the French circuit as the race entered its final hour, the situation at the top of the leaderboard was thrown wide open. Nicolas Minassian, running in 2nd place with the N°7 Peugeot, played a joker card by choosing to stay out on slicks when the front-running Audi switched to rain tyres.
