What a difference a year has made for Peugeot in FIAWEC! 👇
Peugeot has hailed the first World Endurance Championship podium for its 9X8 Le Mans Hypercar at Monza as “huge” and a “big thing” for the team.Olivier Jansonnie, technical director on the 9X8 programme at Peugeot Sport, described the third place for Mikkel Jensen, Paul di Resta and Jean-Eric Vergne in Sunday’s Monza 6 Hours as “quite logical and well deserved”.
“It’s huge because we have been racing for one year now and we have had a lot of disappointment since the beginning of the programme,” he said. “We also knew that to achieve this result we had to do an almost perfect race, and that’s what we did.” “The temperatures went up, but the track got some more grip as well, and the lap times came down,” he explained.“We still have to work on the speed of the car, but the differences are very small now.”
