Loïc Duval wants to build confidence at Spa ahead of Le Mans

It’s a meeting that few drivers want to miss. A race in Spa attracts and entices many amateurs and professionals, be it on two or four wheels. And this weekend, it’s the cars entered in the World Endurance Championship that will be hitting the Belgian track. Enough to delight Loïc Duval.

Spa is a legendary circuit for all drivers. It is quite atypical, very long with long straight sections. Some corners are known worldwide. It is often tricky, the weather is often unpredictable, although it seems that the weather will be quite nice this weekend, says the Frenchman with joy.

Despite this enthusiasm, the Peugeot 94 driver did not show much during the first free practice session with the 17th time, 2.7 seconds behind the leading Ferrari. But especially nearly a second behind the sister car.

But the result is not the most important thing for the driver. What will be crucial in this race is to understand this car, which made its debut at Imola a few days ago, with a view to Le Mans in mid-June. There are a lot of things that have changed compared to the old car. It is also necessary to prepare as best as possible for the 24 Hours, to have a clean race to gain the most confidence possible.
