McNish and Minassian on stage at Autosport International
Friends and rivals Allan McNish and Nicolas Minassian got together on the stage at Autosport International to relive the rivalry between their respective Audi and Peugeot camps in 2008
In one of the most enthralling seasons of sportscar racing in decades, the factory Audi and Peugeot teams slugged it out head-to-head from the season opening Sebring 12 Hours in March to Petit Le Mans in October.
Allan McNish and Nicolas Minassian were stars of their respective stables and, although Peugeot's 908 HDi was undeniably the quicker car, Audi's experience showed as they rallied to win the Le Mans 24 Hours, the LMS championship and Petit Le Mans in America.
