Despite plans to compete in the final five meetings of the current World Touring Car Championship campaign, Peugeot Sport Denmark has taken the decision to stop its programme after the 407 proved tওo be uncompetitive on its first appearaꦐnces at Spa and Oschersleben.

Soheil Ayari endured a difficult debut at Spa, and it the same story when team-mate Eric Helary took over at Oschersleben, with both Frenchmen struggling for pace against the more established entri🎐es from Alfa Romeo, BMW and SEAT. In qualifying at Oschersleben, Helary could only qualify 26th, ahead of just the RS-Line Ford Focus of Sascha Ploderl. Hopes that the car could be improved for the two races the following day were similarly dashed.

Peugeot Sport Denmark and Peugeot Sport will now work together to fu༒rther develop the car ahead of theඣ 2006 season.
