Kudos to Peugeot for trying a new concept... The 9X8 had its competitive moments last year, so it looks very promising with this evolutionary version. Peugeot at Le Mans has a tradition of slow starts but explosive later performance, innovation and world records. Also, it's easy to guess that the Peugeot has probably the most advanced floor! It gives hope for Le Mans...
The Floor it's not that advanced anymore after the 2024 change
"new concept". Another new concept is don't break every race.
Not the 908
Just letting you know, Peugeot did upload a video where they are talking about the upgrades infront of the real (full carbon) car.
In that video it also looks like the one adjustable aero piece is the gurney flap at the front wheels (similar to the Cadillac LMDh). But I can't fully say if that might not have been them testing around with where to put it. Should be visible at Imola and Spa though
Even with the rear wing I still think it’s a great looking car. Hopefully with the upgrades have widened their performance window.
I actually prefer the look with the rear wing since the front already looks very aggressive.
RIP square setup, and about the question how much faster will be, the answer is... as much as ACO will allow it to
Don't You know ACO always only want side by side battle
Not overtake by Drs like F1 and hopefully the team who already overtake from behind could crash next corner so other team could overtake them
So far the only driver who could defense from that is Fernando Alonso
I liked the low drag 'no-wing' concept, too bad it did not work.
If regs remained unchanged allowing front electric power @ 120-kph would the 9X8 have been competitive?
As shown in the Qatar race it would've been able to. In qatar it had similar BoP to the Porsches and the Peugeot competed just fine. That said I don't think it would be a dominant car.
It did work though, but the FIA changed the regulations after the fact to make it not work, no matter what official excuses they give the FIA screwed Peugeot intentionally.
It works in theory, in reality it only works with very smooth asphalt. At least it works better than what Mercedes-AMG F1 have been trying the past few years
@@OzwalR Remember Peugeot built the car for wider front tires and 4WD starting at 120kph (anything but a hairpin) as per original regulations.
Peugeot did build the best car, for the specs originally provided by WEC.
As a 4WD car with no rear wing the 9X8 would have been spectacular, and FIA/WEC just robbed everyone of a more competitive season when they denied the real 9X8 from running.
@@budthecyborg4575🙄
I don’t see it happening but I would love for this team to score a win with this chassis. Especially at LeMans
The 9X8 always should have been allowed to run its original hybrid power at 120kph, WEC lost a huge opportunity when they didn't make an exception for the 9X8 because the wingless design could have made WEC and LeMans totally unique in the racing world.
Equalizing diverse aero concepts was is the entire point of BOP regulations and WEC just threw away the entire reason the LMH class exists in the first place.
That's the one thing I don't really get about the new regs. If LMH is superior to LMDh due to more design freedom, why bother building an LMDh since you won't be competitive? Conversely, if the two are equalized, why would you bother with an LMH and spend a lot more money for a fractional advantage, if any at all? Seems like LMH is there just for manufacturer pride, while LMDh is the baseline.
@@mrgalaxy396 That's how I see it as well: LMH is for the manufacturers with deep pockets while LMDh is for the manufacturers with shallow pockets and privateers.
@@mrgalaxy396Well the answer is in your question...because LMDh CAN be competitive specially with Bop and also it gives you access to IMSA, on the other hand Lmh gives you a fractional advantage like you said, and also more freedom and prestige
@@mrgalaxy396 I feel that lmh also gives you the ability to develop parts that can be used on road cars and is a test to their durability, where as lmdH wouldn't offer that anywhere near as much as most parts aren't bespoke. I feel that Porsche, especially with their heritage, should be building a ground up hyper, but that's just my opinion.
@@unclebanga5976 seems like Volkswagen decision
This channel is fantastic. Keep going!
Glad you enjoy it!
Could the long wing supports help on reducing downforce loss during cornering?
It's beautiful.
Thank you for the cool details and explanation, spezially about Aerodynamic, Weight, Tire Widht and how this things are all connected togehter😊
Looks awesome, better than the original.
It finally has a rear wing, I sure hope they now have more chances coming up.
The distance to the floor was it's major issue.
A good explanation once again. Thank you 👍💪✌
Would've never known it would look even better than the no rear wing 9x8. Can't wait to see it compete for wins.
LOVE IT!
use different spec from front and rear tyres, different weight center, different aero center. it will be more stable for different circuits
Thank you for another great video. The Peugeot looks great and the addition of a wing was a necessary due to the factors you mentioned
I loved this car !!!!
Probably have to wait until Spa to find out how much quicker the 2024 car is than the 2023. I know it’s debut is Imola but I don’t think any of the 2023 cars did racing laps around Imola so comparison is going to be hard. Hopefully this puts Peugeot in the fight for wins and possibly a championship. To do a complete 180 with the aero concept is impressive but I’m disappointed that because of the rule changes the wingless car was not as competitive as it should have been. Despite Le Mans being the weakest track because of the bumpiness a Peugeot led while it was damp and changeable last year so it really could’ve worked.
Shame that it didn't work but at least they learned
The old one probably would have been a rocket if the regs didn't change. Anyhow, this new one is a great looking car even if it's not as unique.
clap clap clap
I love how you’re doing this all in a normal suburban home. No workshop, no usual “here’s my new 100k endmill to do this one project”
That's a shame. The car doesn't look bad cosmetically, but I liked that they were trying something so different in an era where innovation can be difficult at the best of times.
Sadly that's a very half hearted video. You could've at least watched their video on the car. I'm an semi amateur when it comes to basic racecar building and designing but the concept change is clearly more visible, even on the renderings and not just a rear wing.
I liked your more in depth videos but this feels more like an attention grabber.
I mean it worked well at Le Mans, but going all-in on ground-effect is going to work better in the math than the track. Just ask Mercedes AMG F1 😹
Just to prove it was a dumb concept.
Great analysis as always. The car looks great still.
Wasn’t a dumb concept. The rules changed between design and debut that made it less competitive. Even despite the rule changes not suiting the concept they still led races last year so not a total bust. Also the 2024 car will be mechanically sound as it uses the same engine,ERS and drivetrain as last years car so I reckon podiums and possibly wins are on the cards this year.
They can't win without one, and i doubt they'll win with one.
The marketing novelty is over.
Typical French mistake. Now it could be too late. For sure some very generous level of BOP will be deleted.
