Team Peugeot TotalEnergies will be back on track after a well-deserved summer break. During the last race at Monza, the PEUGEOT 9X8 #93 stood on the third step of the podium, etching a new mark in Team Peugeot TotalEnergies history. The team will be committed to get such a result in front of its Japanese fans.
The 6 Hours of Fuji, penultimate round of the FIA World Endurance Championship, will take place on a notorious track at the bottom of the Mount Fuji. The 4.563km track is the shortest of the season, fast, with a 1.5km-long straight. The Fuji Speedway is also a favourite for the drivers thanks to its history and its atmosphere. The drivers of the #93 and #94 PEUGEOT 9X8 are certainly looking forward to it, especially some, as Loïc Duval, who has spent some time in Japan. Due to an injury, Nico Müller will miss out on the Japanese atmosphere as he will be replaced by Stoffel Vandoorne, Peugeot Sport reserve driver, at the wheel of the PEUGEOT 9X8 #94.
It will be the second outing of the PEUGEOT 9X8 in Japan. Last season, Team Peugeot TotalEnergies did its second race ever there and managed to get some positive feedback to continue their work on reliability. After the performances showed at Monza last July, the hopes and expectations are high for the 6 Hours of Fuji, 6th round of the FIA WEC, on the 9th and 10th September. Team Peugeot TotalEnergies is preparing more than ever to fight at the front of the grid.
