So much effort with no reward... From 2022 there was pretty much nothing but disasters for them, so sad to see such a cool car and team having the worst time of all hypercars. I'm not sure about new rear wing, they have to learn the car again, no-rear wing clearly worked at Le Mans and could win the race, i fear that the new aero might not work at Le Mans.

@@casscroute8706 It seems the fuel pump didn't worked properly on their last pit stop. They spent the right amount of time but somehow not the right amount of fuel made its way to the car.

[@dirtcrazykid9674]

@@cabrelbeuk72 Do remember that most of the time they spend "refueling" is actually to replenish virtual energy. The cars could actually go a *lot* longer on fuel that they do, but the FIA implemented the virtual energy system to level the playing field between LMDh/Hybrid LMH's and non-hybrid LMH's (secondary purpose is to stop F1-esqe fire danger fuckery). But even if you spend the same time in the pits regardless of how much fuel you put in, there is still an incentive to underfuel the car because fuel is heavy. If you can go the same distance on a stint as your rival, but you put in less liquid fuel, then you're going to be faster over the course of the stint. I assume that's what Peugeot did, they may have underfueled the car in an attempt to get an advantage over JOTA (even though, remember, they have the same amount of virtual energy charge), and they miscalculated or got unlucky.

[@vojtechnovacek7776]
