WEC. Peugeot will present itself at Imola with a 9X8 with a spoiler

All eyes will be on the two cars. 93 and 94. These two hypercars have evolved well since Qatar. The wing has grown and changed a lot in terms of aerodynamics. And for the first time, they will compete with other competitors. An opportunity to initiate an initial evaluation of this development.

“I think the car is ready for Imola”believes Olivier Jansonnie, technical director of Peugeot Sport WEC. “It’s a circuit that has never been used in the FIA ​​WEC championship and we don’t know it well. We didn’t try it there, but that’s what happened in Qatar and we did well, so I’m not too worried. We worked on simulations and we could see that Imola was a normal circuit for the power of up. »

With these new features, the Simba brand intends to erase the desire of Qatar, when very good results were possible. As a reminder, the number 93 was removed after the incident.

“Unlike 9X8 2023, which we had time to improve and which we drew the quintessence of, we still have a lot to learn from 9X8 2024. We know that it has more natural efficiency, even if it is difficult to judge because we still do not know with what mass and power it will be driven We are sure that we have reset our car in relation to the competition, but how much will the first race tell us?
