🗣️ 'Individually, we have people who know how to do it, but we have never really done it together' Peugeot is 'starting from scratch' in WEC as it gears up for its highly-anticipated debut at Monza ⬇️
Peugeot will compete in the remaining three rounds of the 2022 WEC season in the top-tier Hypercar division, starting with the Monza 6 Hours on 8-10 July, marking a return to the top echelon of sportscar racing for the first time in over a decade.
Peugeot’s technical director Olivier Jansonnie explained that to tackle the WEC the French manufacturer has had to build an entirely new team, partly made up of staff from other departments within the Stellantis Group, greatly enhancing the scale of challenge it faces on its race debut. “On the operational side in particular, this was done by teams which were transferred from other programmes in which we were previously involved at group level, and which we completed with people who arrived.
On its return to top-level endurance racing, Peugeot will go up against Toyota, which has won all but one race so far since the beginning of the Hypercar class in 2021, the non-hybrid Glickenhaus 007 LMH and the grandfathered Alpine A480 LMP1 car.
