Peugeot proud of wingless 9X8 despite ‘Le Mans 2016 moment’ in Qatar WEC race
The wingless version of the Peugeot 9X8 made its final appearance at the Qatar 1812Km event before being replaced by a more standard design at the Six Hours of Imola in April. Jean-Eric Vergne’s car ran out of fuel near the end of the race but managed to finish in seventh place, only to later be excluded from the results. Despite the setback, Peugeot’s motorsport boss praised the team’s efforts and was proud of their performance. The redesigned Peugeot 9X8, now featuring a rear wing, is set to debut at the upcoming race in Italy on April 28th, aiming for improved competitiveness. Peugeot showed promising speed in the recent races, with the team looking forward to continued progress with their updated design for future races.
