No, the Pégase airfoil is a completely new airfoil designed by the French
ONERA. You would need to compare the Pégase to the ASW19 standard class, and
it must be stated the the performance of the Pégase is significantly better
than an ASW19.
Actually, flying an ASW20 against a Pégase in competition is quite a pain -
they climb very well, glide fairly well and have a much lower handicap
coefficient...

I have often wondered whether the Pegase airfoil is an entirely different
design to the ASW20, or whether it is basically a fixed flap version of

the
ASW20 wing.

I understand that the LS8 wing is a fixed flap version of the LS6 wing,
and the LS8 does seem to work rather well.

Well, the airfoil of the Pégase is French, the rest is a copy of German
design...
