Bourdais discusses Test day

Sébastien Bourdais will take the wheel of the Peugeot 908 n°9 which he shares with simon pagenaud and Pedro Lamy. Le Manceau is delighted with the great return of the Test day, just a few weeks before the 79th edition of the 24 Hours of Le Mans.

“The big weekend is slowly approaching, he explains to the lemans.org website. It’s a day that had been skipped in previous years. It's a good thing, it will allow us, especially with the new car, to take our bearings with the new car, evaluate a certain number of things and check that the choices that have been made are the right ones. »

Will the performance of the Peugeot 908 match its competitors? For the moment, in the absence of real confrontation, it is impossible to predict a first hierarchy. " It's hard to say. We know where we are, but we don't know the level of performance of the opposition. For the moment, we have focused on ourselves and we will have the beginnings of an answer this weekend, but not everyone will put their cards on the table. We will just have a draft. »

In any case, the day promises to be a busy one in the Peugeot clan. The day will notably be used to determine the optimal configuration for Le Mans. The time for final adjustments has come. ?We have a lot of things to do, a big work program as usual, probably more than we would have time to do. You have to validate the tires, choose an aero level and then do the kilometers. These are our three main areas of work. »
