BRASELTON, Ga. -- Franck Montagny and Stephane Sarrazin gave Peugeot its first American Le Mans Series victory Saturday, winning the weather-shortened Petit Le Mans.
Race officials, citing hazardous conditions because of a torrential rain that fell at Road Atlanta just past the 4-hour mark, called the race at 8 hours, 44 minutes.
Peugeot's two diesel-powered factory prototype coupes finished 1-2, with the pole-sitting 908 HDi of Pedro Lamy and Nic Minassian in second. Allan McNish and Dindo Capello were third in an Audi R15 TDI.
Marino Franchitti, Butch Leitzinger and Ben Devlin won the LMP2 division for Dyson Racing, driving a Mazda-powered Lola B09/86 coupe. In GT2, Risi Competizione's Jaime Melo, Pierre Kaffer and Mika Salo won in a Ferrari F430 GT.
