Sometimes writing for BusinessCar has its perks. Peugeot is launching a seven seat mini-MPV called the 5008 next year and I’ve been one of the lucky few to come out to Sanremo in Italy to get an early look. More on the 5008 to follow, but while we’re here we’ve also seen the IRC Sanremo Rally, in which Peugeot is… er… dominant.

This weekend has seen Brit, and Peugeot UK driver, Kris Meeke win not only the Rallye Sanremo, but also scoope the whole of the 2009 IRC competition in a 207.
