Peugeot will enter its first full WEC season with the 9X8 Le Mans Hypercar having completed three long-distance tests.
The French manufacturer, which joined the WEC for the final three races of 2022, has already undertaken two Le Mans 24 Hours simulations of more than 30 hours and has confirmed that there will be a third prior to the 1000-mile WEC opener at Sebring in mid-March.
Olivier Jansonnie, technical director on the 9X8 project at Peugeot Sport, told Motorsport.com that the two tests so far had thrown up"some positives and some negatives". "Being 100 percent ready for Le Mans in December or January wouldn't have made sense," he said."It would have meant that we hadn't pushed the development enough, so we are not quite there yet."#94 Peugeot Totalenergies Peugeot 9X8"Sebring is imminent, so we need to make the last step of the validations to define properly our package for there," he said.
