Peugeot believe that their car is not yet ready for the Le Mans 24 Hours despite the car taking a second consecutive victory in the Le Mans Series last weekend.
Pedro Lamy and Stephane Sarrazin took their first win with the new car at Valencia, but the second car of Nicolas Minassian and Marc Gene was forced to retire with gearbox problems.
Peugeot's technical director Bruno Famin said: "The race revealed that we haven't yet solved all our problems.
"We continue to be on the limit in certain areas, and also that we still aren't ready to hold for 24 hours."
However, Famin believes that the race served as a good test for the French race, which is the next event for the new car.
"As we had hoped, it proved to be a first class full-scale test for us," he said. "It was an extremely positive weekend."
The team had also experienced gearbox dramas in the opening race of the season at Monza, although both cars did make it to the finish first time out.
