OCTAGON Motorsport has taken delivery of 24 Peugeot 206 XS models for use at its rally schools at Brands Hatch and Silverstone.

Chris Epstein, group engineering manager at Octagon, said: 'The cars have been stripped to their bare shells and completely rebuilt as rally cars, incorporating full roll cages, a fire safety system, sports seats and harnesses, close ratio gearbox and rally suspension.'

Darren Smith, Peugeot fleet marketing manager, said: 'With Peugeot's rally success, particularly over the last two years, it makes sense to raise our profile and awareness of the 206 by introducing these cars as teaching vehicles.'
