Peugeot 9X8 - 1/12 : Behind the scenes of the tests in Magny-Cours
26 Apr. 2022 ‧ 9:30
A few days ago, the Peugeot TotalEnergies team invited Endurance-Info to attend the testing of its hypercar, the 9X8, on the Nevers Magny-Cours circuit. Behind the scenes, technical explanations and interviews, this 17th week of the year will be placed under the sign of the Lion.
It is 9.32 am on April 21th when we enter box 42 at the Nevers Magny-Cours circuit. Behind the door, ten or more engineers were here - concentrated on their screens - do not even pay attention to our arrival, while a group of mechanics tidy up the garage. "Watch out, there's a microclimate and the rain has just fallen on the track", one of them jokingly tells us. Across the pit lane, a tanker truck in Michelin colours starts to reverse after having littered the track with a thick film of water.
