Peugeot is confident that gearbox developments introduced for this weekend’s Portimao round of the World Endurance Championship will prove reliable in the six-hour race.The new gearshift activation system on the French manufacturer’s 9X8 Le Mans Hypercar has already come through a Le Mans 24 Hours endurance simulation at Paul Ricard, during which it exceeded the distance it will have to cover in Sunday’s Portimao 6 Hours.
Jansonnie revealed that development of the revised gearshift set-up had started at the back end of Peugeot's three-race programme in the 2022 WEC, which began after Le Mans. “It started being clear that we had to do something before Bahrain [the season finale in November],” he explained. “It took quite a long time to achieve the design.”
