Most cars have their own history that tells about their beginning and the routes and models the car took before they reached where they are now today. Sometimes in their glorious history most of the organizations that manufacture cars have had built cars that have participated in races too. The same holds true for the Peugeot stables too. Peugeot too has a fabled racing history.

Just check the racing history and you will observe how Peugeot blazed across the racing tracks in the early part of the 20th century. Check out the race history of Indianapolis for the years 1913, 1916 and 1919 and you will observe how the opponents were just crushed by Peugeot. If they did not come first, one could be rest assured that they would either be in the second or in the third position, such was the awe and power of the Peugeot car. The year 1915 and 1916 both saw Peugeot winning the Vanderbilt Cup.
Peugeot had started a new trend in the races with their small, four cylinder high rpm engines. This was a move away from the big cars that used to dominate the races. Later on the entire racing cars of the world took over that same style. It can be said that the revolution that was started by Peugeot, changed the way racing cars were built. This is but a small glimpse of the racing history of the world famous Peugeot car.
