Following a refueling problem during the last pit stop, the #93 Peugeot car, initially in second place, ran out of fuel on the final lap and was subsequently disqualified for failing to meet parc ferme conditions. Nico Muller, teammate to Jean-Eric Vergne and Mikkel Jensen, expressed disbelief and disappointment, as they had aimed for a strong finish to showcase the potential of the 2023 PEUGEOT 9X8. During the race, Muller passed competitors to take the lead but was later overtaken by Laurens Vanthoor in the #6 Porsche, who secured the victory. Despite the setback, Team Peugeot TotalEnergies acknowledged the strong performance and vowed to address the refueling issue for the upcoming Imola race, where the 2024 version of the PEUGEOT 9X8 will be introduced with modifications to meet LMH-rules standards. The team, including Stellantis Motorsport boss Jean-Marc Finot, looks forward to the challenge and aims to build on the positive aspects of their last race.
