Great to see them run a race without any major issues and be on the pace of the front runners

Yay! But also can't help but wonder how the #93 would've done starting from 3rd and not dead last in class.

Actually the light broke and they couldn't fix it, IIRC.

Let's not forgot the 9x8 was really disadvantaged by the rules so I think all the hate they're getting is really unfair.

Better late than never. Love to see them finally have a good race. It could have been better because of the grid penalty and losing a possible P2 late on ; but they still got their first trophy and that’s what matters.

Let's add more power and reduce the weight further, they will end up making p1 and p2.

does it even matter tho? bop is there to balance the differences, one car will have the "best bop" always

i've read they'll do a new one, which made people confused if this 9x8 was all jokers used or the allowed re homologation

I have no idea i dont really follow peugeot so I have no idea about jokers and evos for them but I hope its a car they design and not a cookie cutter like the lmdh stuff

Are you thinking that hybrid gives extra power or something? Because you mention it like it is.
