Despite suffering reliability dramas in all three of its WEC races so far, Peugeot's progress has been 'huge', according to JeanEricVergne:
Peugeot has yet to have a trouble-free race since it joined the WEC for the second half of the 2022 season in Monza, with a myriad of issues preventing it from finishing on the podium against Toyota and Alpine in the Hypercar class.
Vergne, however, believes the reliability dramas Peugeot has faced so far is not unusual for a newcomer and expressed confidence that the squad will be able to get on top of its problems in 2023. “There's only one thing to do: drive, drive, drive! Get as many miles as possible, and then you get to a point where all the parts that need to break have broken and are fixed - are modified.
Although the Bahrain weekend was ultimately a disappointment with its sole-surviving #94 car finishing fourth and last in the Hypercar class, the 9X8 appeared to be quite competitive with di Resta qualifying the sister #93 machine on the front row and running in podium positions early in the race.
“I'm actually driving this week; we're doing endurance tests for three days during Christmas week. The motivation is really huge in this team, it's a great project.
