Motorsport is a laboratory that allows to test high-tech innovations in various domains. Peugeot Sport exposed the PEUGEOT 9X8 showcar to illustrate during a conference the technologies developed that we can find on track in the FIA World Endurance Championship (FIA WEC). François Coudrain, Peugeot Sport PowerTrain director and Riccardo DeFilippi, Mareli Motorsport Director were there to answer questions from the public: “This event is a great opportunity to be together, with Marelli and Peugeot Sport, to talk about technology and to share our passion for motorsport and innovation with the people attending the event at the museum. This night is a great opportunity to educate a new audience who normally only have a rough idea of what is goeson behind the scenes of at a race. Here we have the opportunity to go a little bit more in detail and explain simply to help the public understand. This event is also important to create passion and interest for technology with young people that attend this event. We create high-tech technology to go racing but also to develop the road cars of the future and the collaboration with PEUGEOT is a true partnership. We are here together with the same passion, the same interest and the same goal which is winning on track facing a fierce competition.”
