Team Peugeot TotalEnergies was fully aware of what to expect at Monza, namely conditions that couldn’t be simulated in private testing, plenty of new information and fresh questions to be answered, as well as problems associated with racing in a competitive arena that it needed to discover in order to be able to resolve them. The moment formally marked PEUGEOT’s return to motor racing, under the watchful eyes of Peugeot CEO Linda Jackson and Stellantis CEO Carlos Tavares, Mikkel Jensen and Loïc Duval were behind the wheel of the #93 and #94 PEUGEOT 9X8s respectively when the 2022 6 Hours of Monza got under way at Italy’s infamous ‘Temple of Speed’ at midday, Sunday, July 10.
The steep learning curve will now continue with further private testing ahead of the next FIA WEC round, in Fuji, Japan, in September. The trip to Italy enabled it to harvest a significant amount of information as the team got to see how the PEUGEOT 9X8 performed in traffic and the afternoon’s extreme conditions. Team PEUGEOT TotalEnergies made its maiden appearance in the FIA World Endurance Championship (FIA WEC) at today’s 6 Hours of Monza.
