FormulaE ace Maximilian Gunther (maxg_official) was all smiles after testing the Peugeot hypercar for the first time in Bahrain.
Having joined sister brand Maserati for his fifth season in Formula E next year, Gunther was invited by Peugeot to test its 9X8 LMH during the traditional post-season test at the Bahrain International Circuit on Sunday.
Speaking after the test session, Gunther said he thoroughly enjoyed his run in the Peugeot and was impressed by several aspects of the hypercar, which is heavier but more powerful than the Formula E cars he is accustomed to. "I've been driving single-seaters all my career, like Formula 2, Formula 3 and Formula E, obviously.
As a BMW factory driver, Gunther scored three race wins in the all-electric series across 2019/20 and 2020/21 seasons before parting ways with the German manufacturer at the end of last year.
