This 94th edition of the 24 Hours of Le Mans, which marked the centenary of PEUGEOT’s first participation, did not deliver the result Team Peugeot TotalEnergies had hoped for.
Despite a rear-end assembly change on car #94 and a drive-through penalty for car #93 during the night, the team executed a controlled and disciplined race from start to finish, never giving up.
“These 24 hours were extremely tough,” commented Cassidy. “The team was incredible — absolutely relentless and flawless operationally. It only strengthens our determination to come back stronger and fight for success next year. We’re already looking ahead to Le Mans 2027.”
Lacking outright pace in qualifying, the two PEUGEOT 9X8s lined up 16th and 18th on the grid for the race start on Saturday 13 June.
Both reached the finish of an unforgiving race, underlining the reliability of the package over the full distance. Car #94, driven by Loïc Duval, Théo Pourchaire and Malthe Jakobsen, finished 11th after 377 laps. Car #93, with Paul di Resta, Nick Cassidy and Stoffel Vandoorne, finished 12th, covering 5,123 kilometres without any technical issues.
The team leaves Le Mans with six championship points and a reinforced determination to improve.
