Olivier Jansonnie, technical director of the programme, believes that the pace in the opening stages of the eight-hour race before both cars hit problems proves the 9X8 was much more of a competitive proposition on its latest outing in the WEC.
“We were much more in the mix here in Bahrain, as we demonstrated during the early part of the race,” he said following the third race start for the car after Monza in July and Fuji in September.
