Episode Details

Peugeots World Endurance Championship team is gearing up for the 2027 season, aiming to overcome the challenges of their 2020 debut. The 2026 campaign is their priority, with CEO Alain Favey pushing for their first win. Limited track time has been the norm, but theyre saving bigger runs for later, possibly testing 2027 tweaks early. Drivers like Theo Pourchaire see wet weather as an advantage, as the 9X8 performs well in the rain. Imola might provide that opportunity. New developments, such as heavy sim hours, workshop grind, fresh tire prep, reliability tests, and software upgrades, bring hope. A leadership shakeup includes Mathieu Neuville as chief engineer and Emmanuel Esnault running the team. Despite being behind Ferrari and Toyota, Peugeot is not giving up, aiming for midfield battles if setups align, while chasing the front-row fight as the project gains momentum.
