The Peugeot 306 GTi won the prestigious [[Spa 24 hours]] endurance race in 1999 and 2000.

Peugeot has been racing successfully in the [[Asian Touring Car Series]], winning the 2000, 2001, and 2002 championships with the [[Peugeot 306]] GTi.

Peugeot has been racing successfully in the [[Stock Car Brasil]] series since 2007 and won the 2008, 2009, and 2011 championships.

Peugeot won five times the [[Danish Touringcar Championship]], with both the Peugeot 306 -winner in 1999, 2000, and 2001- and the [[Peugeot 307]] winner in 2002 and 2003.

With his [[Peugeot 406]], Laurent Aiello won the 1997 [[Super Tourenwagen Cup]] season.

Throughout the mid-1990s, the [[Peugeot 406]] [[sedan (car)|saloon]] (called a sedan in some countries) contested [[Touring car racing|touring car]] championships across the world, enjoying success in [[French Touring Car Championship|France]], [[Super Tourenwagen Cup|Germany]] and Australia, yet failing to win a single race in the [[British Touring Car Championship]] despite a number of podium finishes under the command of 1992 British Touring Car Champion [[Tim Harvey]]. In Gran Turismo 2 the 406 saloon description sums its racing career up as "a competitive touring car which raced throughout Europe".

The British cars were initially prepared by Peugeot Sport; a team from the Peugeot UK factory in [[Coventry]] under the direction of team manager Mick Linford in 1996, with [[TotalEnergies|Total]] sponsorship. Peugeot Sport was not however a full professional race team akin to those of the competition, by now including Williams, Prodrive, Schnitzer and TWR; being as it was run from workshops within the Peugeot factory, largely by factory employees from 1992 to 1996, racing the 405 Mi16 from 1992 to 1995. Peugeot, therefore, contracted Motor Sport Development (MSD; who had developed and run the Honda Accord in the [[British Touring Car Championship|BTCC]] from 1995 to 1996) to build & run the 406 for 1997–98, when they wore a distinctive green and gold-flame design in deference to new sponsor [[Esso]].
 
Initially, the 406's lack of success was blamed on suspension problems. During 1998 the 406 apparently lacked sufficient [[horsepower]] to compete with the front runners' Nissan Primeras and Honda Accords; this was mentioned during a particularly strong showing from Harvey's 406 at the Oulton Park BTCC meeting of 1998 when motorsport commentator [[Charlie Cox (racing driver)|Charlie Cox]] stated: "some people say (the 406) is down on power&nbsp;– you're kidding". During the first BTCC meeting at Silverstone in the same year, Cox mentions that MSD re-designed the 406 touring car "from the ground up". It was however widely reported in publications like the now-defunct 'Super Touring' magazine that it was the aero package primarily developed for longer, faster tracks in Germany and France that led to its success there but hindered the 406 on the slower, twistier tracks of the UK.{{citation needed|date=August 2024}}

In 2001, Peugeot entered three [[BTC-T Peugeot 406 Coupé]]s into the British Touring Car Championship to compete with the dominant [[Vauxhall Astra]] coupes. The 406 coupe was at the end of its [[product lifecycle]] and was not competitive, despite some promise towards the end of the year, notably when Peugeot's Steve Soper led a race only to suffer engine failure in the last few laps. The 406 coupes were retired at the end of the following year and replaced with the [[Peugeot 307]]—again, uncompetitively in 2003. Alongside the BTC-C 406's; two works-supported 306 GTis were also raced in the BTC-P (Production) class by Simon Harrison and Roger Moen, with Harrison emerging class champion.
