Peugeot team principal Emmanuel Esnault has hit out at the FIA World Endurance Championship after both 9X8s were eliminated in qualifying for the Le Mans 24 Hours.
Esnault was livid after Peugeot went from qualifying fourth at the Imola 6 Hours, 0.073s down on pole position, and taking pole at the Spa-Francorchamps 6 Hours, to 16th and 18th on the Le Mans grid – crucially as only the top 15 cars (out of 18) were qualified for Thursday’s Hyperpole.
