So Le Mans has always produced some incredible cars, and the new Hypercar class is no exception. But look at this Toyota, this Glickenhaus, this Alpine and then this.

Notice the odd one out? This Peugeot 9X8 has no rear wing.

It’s been decades since we’ve seen a top-flight Le Mans car without a huge rear wing - they’re essential in producing downforce and keeping the car on the road.

But somehow, Peugeot have made this car in a way that actually benefits from not having a rear wing - let’s dive into it.

The new LMH series is designed to produce closer racing and a grid of radically different cars, with huge freedom given to the designers.

For the previous LMP1 class, things worked a bit like in Formula 1. The FIA gave the designers a set of tight, geometrical restrictions on the bodywork of the cars, and the designers have to fit the bodywork within those restrictions.

This prevents the teams creating ridiculous downforce or taking things a bit too far.

However, this gave us a grid of similar-looking cars with big differences in performance, depending on which designers made best use of the regulations. The LMH class turns this on its head.
