Spa-Francorchamps: Peugeot wants even more points 🎥
It's getting serious Dress rehearsal for the 24 Hours of Le Mans: Cadillac, Ferrari, Peugeot, Porsche, Toyota and Co. are fighting for important points at Spa-Francorchamps - after all, 13 hypercars will be on the grid.
It's the last chance before Le Mans to put the mostly brand-new cars through their paces. At the same time, it's all about championship points and the question: Can Toyota somehow be beaten after all? After the two dominant performances at the 1000 miles of Sebring and 6 hours of Portimão, Toyota Gazoo Racing Europe is the expected hunted.
Challenging race track
The 6 Hours of Spa is the dress rehearsal for the 24 Hours of Le Mans in the World Endurance Championship (WEC). For the last rendezvous before the big race on June 10 and 11, 13 hypercars will face each other next weekend. The Belgian circuit in the heart of the Ardennes Forest is considered one of the most demanding race tracks in the world and is known for its fast combination of corners and the famous Raidillon (meaning steep road).
Points brought serenity
After the first top 5 finish in Portimão, Team Peugeot TotalEnergies wants to keep the reliability of the #93 and #94 9X8 with Nico Müller (left gallery) at the same level in Spa-Francorchamps.
Christian Deltombes, Team Manager Peugeot TotalEnergies (gallery on the right): "Portimão has brought some serenity to the team. Sebring was something of a shock wave, but a positive one for the team, and we can be proud of the fact that we responded well after that race. The pit stops were particularly efficient. We will do our best to reinforce this momentum at Spa, even though we know we still have a lot of work to do."
Qualifying for the Hypercar class will take place at 5:50 p.m. on April 28 and the race will start at 12:45 p.m. on Saturday, April 29.
