[LM24 Race] The 77th Edition of the 24hrs of Le Mans • Race Thread • June, 8th – 14th 2009

[Gilles lives!]

Let Peugeot Sport Technical director explain :

''We have paid special attention to aerodynamics too. The regulations dictate a smaller rear wing, the width of which has come down from 2 to 1.6 metres. We have consequently had to revise the overall package in order to rebalance the car by reducing front downforce. This explains the new front-end bodywork we will be running for the first time at Le Mans.

I read this on Autosport last week, no mention of the rubber build up in the report, however he does mention the smaller air restrictor, extra 30 Kgs of ballast and aircon along with the narrower fuel filler pipe for this year.
