Peugeot has introduced an updated gearbox for this weekend's Portimao WEC round after encountering serious reliability issues in the Sebring season opener last month.
Peugeot is confident that gearbox developments introduced for this weekend’s Portimao round of the World Endurance Championship will prove reliable in the six-hour race.The new gearshift activation system on the French manufacturer’s 9X8 Le Mans Hypercar has already come through a Le Mans 24 Hours endurance simulation at Paul Ricard, during which it exceeded the distance it will have to cover in Sunday’s Portimao 6 Hours.
Jansonnie revealed that development of the revised gearshift set-up had started at the back end of Peugeot's three-race programme in the 2022 WEC, which began after Le Mans. “It started being clear that we had to do something before Bahrain [the season finale in November],” he explained. “It took quite a long time to achieve the design.”
