One of the most powerful and racy engines of the 1999 season, as Panis showed in qualy (0.3 behind Ferraris) and the race at Hokkenheim (fastest from lap 20 to 43). The Peugeot F1 A18 (Beryllium pioneer) delivered some good 795bhp in qualy while barely hitting 15.800rpm. But in the races tuned down to some respected but sometimes unreliable 785bhp...while Merc was cautiously at 790bhp and +17.500rpm (From +805bhp in qualy mode). The high torque long stroke old lion made the rest in the straights...🦁 Hidden fact: the Mugen Honda was the best engine that season hitting +815bhp and +18.000rpm in qualy mode and some good 800bhp for races... allowing Jordan & Frentzen to excel in Monza and Hokkenheim and actually fight for the tittle.
Glorious looking car this, the Prost Peugeot AP02. I've got one of those as a die-cast replica but with the #19 of Jarno Trulli on his way to a podium at the Nürburgring in varying weather conditions.
Prost built very good looking cars, shame they weren't competitive and that the albeit powerful Peugeot engines, were heavy compared to other engines at the time.

Kamel Safar Zitoun The problems Prost had in 2000 were that the engine was hideously unreliable and the chassis was too unstable at the rear and so it couldn't properly get the power down.
I heard in a "What Went Wrong?" video Peugeot had some of the most unreliable F1 engines ever in history. I don't blame Eddie Jordan at all when his team dumped the Peugeot engines for more reliable engines (by a long shot) from Honda. Prost should've had his team stick with Honda engines to begin with instead of switching for unreliable and always failing Peugeot engines, I know that would've taken out the whole aspect of a pure French F1 team (a French team with a main HQ in Paris lead by a French owner (Alain Prost) with a French driver (Olivier Panis), and a French Manufacturer (Peugeot)), but at least they could've had the same amount of success Jordan Grand Prix had after again dumping the unreliable Peugeot engines for Honda.
Panis was really good before his injury. He got Ligier on the podium several times with the famous Monaco win of course. He fell off completely after the injury.
1997 before Canada gave the rebranded team (as Prost Grand Prix) a consecutive points scoring car and could've gotten himself and the team a race win or two plus a potential to contend for the 1997 championship had he not crashed at Canada
Especially as this particular race had one of the highest time losses through the pit lane, but a high attrition rate helped Olivier out. One of his stops was also a 10 second stop-go for a jump start.
Hayden 3210 Unfortuantly the Prost never ran this angle in 98, in 1997 the "t-cam" didn't exist as it was a vertical shaped camera, their is footage from Panis' car during Melbourne and Argentina.
Panis F1 career was much longer than his outright pace would have offered. Obviously he wasn’t slow, but he never really stood out either. Before anyone says it, I know he won the Monaco GP in 96, but only 5 car’s finished the race.
He could've had more had he not crashed at Canada 1997. Which is a shame considering the true potential he had, he was 3rd in the drivers standings with a possibility of contending for the world championship that year.

The1984Sniper Only 16 500 revs in the Peugeot V10 and I recall their woeful 2000 season when they broke 23 transmissions and many engine blow-ups.

Anyone want to feel old? That season is as far away from us as the 1974 season was to them.

Thing is, a broken leg shouldn’t do this. Maybe it was just his level of
The power of Peugeot A 18 engine was 770 hp in 1999.
Muito bom Thanks
6th after 3 pit stops? Thought he would've been lower than that.
Especially as this particular race had one of the highest time losses through the pit lane, but a high attrition rate helped Olivier out. One of his stops was also a 10 second stop-go for a jump start.
A lot of the midfield competition retired around him including his teammate Jarno Trulli.
Do you have the 98 or 97 T-Cam onboard from the prost, because i cant find any of them ANYWHERE

Do you have the vertical cam from either 95-97 then?
Here's the 95 angle th-cam.com/video/yeKgrB1K0mk/w-d-xo.html
And the 1996: th-cam.com/video/Xii1tpCqdgI/w-d-xo.html
Thanks man, appreciate it

Low rpm...Peugeot.
Long stroke...
