Thread: Peugeot at Le Mans, any drivers known ?

Yes and the presentation begins at 11.30 CET sharp !

Perhaps we can have pictures earlier tomorrow !!!

This site http://www.lmsr.net is written to already own pictures of the 908 being tested and they'll post them early on wednesday

A change again ????

Last rumours say that finally Villeneuve would have chosen to run for Audi(ALMS+le Mans) and that Olivier Panis would replace him at Peugeot !!!!

Anyway, less than 3 hours to wait...

Rumours around this line-up have been unbelievable until the end !!
I don't believe this one.
Peugeot actually signed Villeneuve.
1 hour to wait !

Less than one hour to wait !!!

I neither want to believe Villeneuve signed for Audi !! Peugeot needs to attract the most world medias as possible and thus needs both Bourdais and Villeneuve

This is crazy(cool). Has Le Mans had so many rumours in recent years?

I don't think so Erki !!

Anyway, press conference is running since a few minutes and infos/pics should be available between 12.00 and 1.00pm...

That's it !!!! The 6 official drivers WILL be Sarrazin, Bourdais, Lamy, Minassian, Villeneuve and Gene !!!


First pic of the car, tested on Castelet circuit !!

the car looks alot better now, since the presentation.

I don't like such narrow cockpit.

Weird that Helary didn't get a race seat.

Pictures of the car in action !!!

Erki, on some pics I just posted the cockpit doesn't look narrow

By the way, it seems Jacques Villeneuve will also run the LMS with the 908 !!

I was wrong !!
Villeneuve will only run le Mans, and Gene will run the entire LMS...

is it me or does the front end look almost exactly like the Dome

And here you have the official announced program and press conference result in english

I wish it was March already

Interesting to compare the model of Paris Motorshow with the car presented today !!

Have a look at http://www.sportautomoto.it/News.asp?Type=1&id=6072
Especially have a look at the glas roofs(cockpit)



EDIT: very smart Villeneuve in Peugeot uniform !!

theo cockpit may prove to be a major disadvantage, the doors look very small and it may take a lot longer for a driver change.
