According to my limited knowledge of the 'English Language', "People" has no plural. And this issue is one that generates more questions. I prefer to use "eight people", though here in our small buildings the maximum load is 500kg or "6 people".

If you can use both forms for the plural of person:

Persons 8, which is a more formal

People 8, which is a more informal.

hug.
