The combination of Derek Warwick and Yannick Dalmas in a Peugeot 905B was always spectacular to watch en route to the 1992 Sports Car World Championship 🏆 The latter reflects on a season with his favourite team-mate in this week's Friday Favourite ⬇️

. “The ambience, it was equal, it was strong. I had 100% confidence in him and the same for him in me. We did a very good job.”

“The car was very sensitive and the ride-height of the car was very sensitive. Sometimes together it was okay, sometimes we have not very perfect, but we like together the same attitude of the car. I hate an oversteering car. Derek in the beginning liked it a little bit, but later he changed his opinion.”

Dalmas stresses that no preferential treatment was given to either car by the Peugeot management, leaving it up to the drivers and engineers on track to see who could do the better job. Dalmas took pole at Monza and was never troubled by the sister car – Baldi had been sidelined by engine failure while running second. In fact, Dalmas’s only real trouble was spongy brakes which caused a spectacular crash at the second chicane, although he and Warwick were still classified second behind the surviving Toyota of Geoff Lees and Hitoshi Ogawa.

Warwick again had pole for Donington, but Baldi and Alliot took their first win of the campaign when the latter overtook Dalmas at a restart. An early power steering failure then heavily delayed the #2 car at Suzuka, where victory clinched that long-awaited title for Warwick and Dalmas.Motorsport Images
