Peugeot: Will there be first points at the race in Sebring? 🎥
START Starting this weekend, the 11th season of the FIA World Endurance Championship kicks off for Team Peugeot TotalEnergies with Nico Müller in the team of car #94 at the Sebring circuit.
With the experience gained from the three races in 2022, as well as from the 10,000 kilometers covered in winter tests, the Peugeot 9X8 has undergone further technical development. This season will be fiercely competitive, with some of the world's biggest manufacturers competing in the Le Mans hypercar class, which consists of eleven cars. The Peugeot teams are fighting for their first points.
The line-up of the two 9X8s remains unchanged with Paul Di Resta, Mikkel Jensen and Jean-Eric Vergne at the wheel of the #93 and Loïc Duval, Gustavo Menezes and Nico Müller in the #94.
A victory will definitely be the top goal
Nico Müller (center gallery): "Since the last race of the season in Bahrain, we've spent time in the simulator and completed some tests over the winter. Not only did we drive and further develop the car, but we also spent time together off the track to get to know each other better. That was very valuable. 2023 will be a golden era in the world of racing cars. This year also marks the centenary of the 24 Hours of Le Mans and fighting for victory there will definitely be the top goal. It will be a challenging season with strong competitors in the championship, but we are competing to win."

The 1000 miles of Sebring will kick off the 2023 World Endurance Championship, after which the WEC squad will travel to Spa-Francorchamps and the legendary 24 Hours of Le Mans.
