At the 6 Hours of Fuji race, the #93 Peugeot 9X8 Hypercar driver achieved fourth place, trailing behind the #36 Alpine A424 in third by only 3.25 seconds. Both Peugeot cars, #93 and #94, managed to finish 10 places higher than their starting positions. Starting from 14th, Jean-Eric Vergne took the wheel of the #93, while Loic Duval began in the sibling Hypercar at P18.

Despite struggles in qualifying and pace, the Peugeot team strategically saved new tires for the crucial final stretch, leading to a satisfying 4th place finish and earning recognition for their determination and teamwork from the Technical Director and the entire Peugeot TotalEnergies team.
