Team Peugeot TotalEnergies Showed Grit at Le Mans Despite Missing Hyperpole
SHERIDAN, WYOMING – September 23, 2025 – At the 2025 edition of the legendary 24 Hours of Le Mans, Team Peugeot TotalEnergies encountered a difficult start during qualifying, missing out on the Hyperpole session. However, the team approached the race weekend with resilience, unity, and a deep focus on strategy and preparation.
The two PEUGEOT 9X8 Hypercars were classified 18th and 19th in qualifying, which meant they did not progress to the final Hyperpole shootout. Despite noticeable improvements since Free Practice, Stoffel Vandoorne (#94) and Jean-Eric Vergne (#93) clocked lap times of 3:25.240 and 3:25.494. Both drivers had laps deleted due to track limit violations, and a puncture forced Vergne to make a pit stop during the session.
Team Peugeot TotalEnergies remained motivated and focused on the race, which started on Saturday, June 14 at 4:00 PM in front of more than 300,000 spectators.
