[WEC] Peugeot Sport returning to WEC

RE lack of rear wing, does it need one? There’s only a certain number you’re allowed to make in the regs. If you can generate that number elsewhere on the car, in theory, surely it doesn’t make a difference whether you have a rear wing or not?

Well I guess Peugeot think not. Forgot about the downforce number, possibly they've achieved it without the wing, there's certainly a lot of other aero going on.

Does seem strange that only DSC have released it, suspect there's some timezone confusion and we'll see everyone else posting in 30 minutes or so

difficult to say without much data, rear wing creates rear downforce and is very important to give a whole aero balance to the car...

guess a racing car could drop off rear wing only if diffuser generates an insane amount of downforce and the car is literally sticked to the ground...
look what happened when sometimes in F1 DRS was stuck open and the unaware driver tried to run through the corner...
