| If I were the company Pugot (as the male Indian team mis-pronounced Peugeot) - I would be pretty unhappy that: 1) the Indian team slaughtered the pronunciation of the name - although Pugot is very funny! 2) that out of 10 brand new cars 308 Turbo, one car broke down - which is a 10% defect rate on brand new cars. It seems that the broken down Pugot might have been deliberately placed by the AXN producers to bring some drama to the first race - but nonetheless, it is very bad product placement advertising for Pugot. I think I will always call them Pugot from now on. I like the sound of it. Either way - Pugot will not be happy about it Hahaha | |

| Accidents happen without one wishing for it, and so does engine failures. Let's not take this as a sign of a product's weakness. What's good was that the mechanics quickly arrived and the girls were able to finish the tasks in time. | |
