Peugeot 406 Coupe

This year the 406 ran in the idependents cup. This means they were running last years car without the factory support but against the other cars in the same situation. There drivers were Tim Harvey and Dan Eaves. This year after a disasterously unlucky last race for Barwell Motorsports Aaron Slight, Dan Eaves managed to whip the championship from under his feet. Peugeot are still looking for there first ever win in the BTCC. The 406 is not best suited to a formula where short wheel based cars are dominating with it being one of the longest ever.
