2009 becomes the year of the long waited victory for the #9 Peugeot 908 Hdi FAP and its drivers, all ex-Formula One drivers, David Brabham (whose brother Gary won with Peugeot 16 years ago), Marc Gené and Alexander Wurz (who won here in 1996 on his debut).

The French racing team Peugeot Sport located at Vélizy-Villacoublay is directed by Olivier Quesnel, with Bruno Famin as technical manager and Serge Saulnier as team manager.

The French car manufacturer has taken part in many well known motor races since their formation. At Indianapolis, such as Indy Races (wins in 1913, 1916 & 1919), rallys (5 times World Champions), the Paris Dakar rally raids ( 4 wins), the WSC (champion in 1992) and ,of course, endurance races (Le Mans, LMS, ALMS).

The works team was taking part for the 7th time (1926, 1991, 1992, 1993, 2007, 2008 and 2009) and won in 1992 (D.Warwick/Y.Dalmas/M.Blundell) and 1993 (G.Brabham/C.Bouchut/E.Hélary).

CA – Chelsea Alexis

EM: First of all, thank you for giving www.elusivemedia.com the time of day with
answering these questions. So, who got you started or how did you get started into
modeling?
CA: I have always gone to a lot of car and bike shows bc they are passions of mine.
So I always saw all the girls working at the booths.  During one show I was asked by
one of the booths to work at another show for them.  After that I started working
alot of car and bike shows.  Then I started expanding and doing other types of
modeling as well.  But car and bike shows are still my favorite.

EM: At the show, you looked like you were having a lot of fun. Do you enjoy
modeling? Who rubs your feet after the show?* *just kidding, you do not have to
answer that. But standing in high heels all day can’t be fun.
CA: I always have fun at the car shows.  Who wouldn’t.  Fast cars and hot girls.
What could be better.  And yes my feet definitely hurt after the shows.  All day in
6″ heels… ouch!

EM: What event or show have you enjoyed the most so far this year? What future
events will you be attending?
CA: The HIN shows are always a good time.  There’s always a great turn out.  But
Formula Drift was a lot of fun as well.  I would love to learn how to drift!  I have
a lot of shows this summer.  Keep checking back to my myspace to see where I’ll be
next!

EM: On a typical weekend, where can we find you or what are you doing when you’re
not modeling?
CA: When I’m not modeling, I’m on the sportbike.  I have a GSXR 1000 that I spend
all my warm days on.

EM: Do you see yourself making a career of modeling? Outside of modeling,do you have
any other career aspirations?
CA: Definitely.  I love modeling.  I would also like to open my own bike shop
someday.  I’m in college right now for marketing and hopefully will be able to start
my own business in the future.
