French Precision — 2 museum-grade prints that set the mood. The Peugeot 205 Turbo 16 won consecutive WRC manufacturers' championships in 1985 and 1986 — the only French manufacturer to dominate Group B before the FIA banned the class. Its transverse mid-engine, four-wheel-drive layout represented a different engineering answer to Audi's longitudinal quattro concept, and the Rothmans-sponsored livery became as recognisable on forest stages as Martini stripes on Lancias. Oreca's 07 chassis became the defining LMP2 platform of the mid-2010s WEC era, and IDEC Sport is among France's recognisable privateer endurance outfits under Patrice Lafargue. The 2017 laurel marks the LMP2 class season shown here — a prototype chapter that ran parallel to the hybrid LMP1 transition without the same factory spotlight.
