Peugeot had already been developing a gearshift fix before the issue hit both its cars in the WEC opener at Sebring 🛠️ Full story ⬇️
The problem encountered by the #94 car in the opening moments of the Sebring 1000 Miles on Friday and then the #93 early in the second hour was already known to the team,He described it as an issue with the actuator, which will be solved with an updated part in time for the second round of the 2023 WEC at Portimao on 16 April.“It is something we have worked on, but we could not make it [the update] available for this race.
“It doesn’t really look good, but it wasn’t such a surprise because it is something we know about. I wouldn’t say that we were expecting to have the problem, especially not so early in the race.” Jansonnie stressed that the actuator glitch was not the same transmission issue that afflicted Peugeot at the 2022 Bahrain WEC round, the last of the three events it contested last year, nor at the Prologue pre-season WEC test the weekend ahead of the 1000 Miles.
