Peugeot at Le Mans, any drivers known ?

Audi maybe could be going to LMES, theres news that Audi may pull out of the ALMS after Sebring, the Audi vs. Pug could be sooner than expected :)

Strange decision, regarding USA is an important market for them :mark: but why not... ;)

Peugeot have revealed the composition of the 2 crews and have explained why:

Villeneuve/Gene/Minassian
Bourdais/Sarrazin/Lamy

Both are very strong !

Official entrylist for LMS is also decided... ;)


No Audi team at all :mark: both Peugeot wear number 7(Gene/Minassian) and 8(Lamy/Sarrazin)... ;)

Marc Gene interview on Planetlemans.com.
He is very enthusiastic about his new challenge.
He said that this year is a learning year. He wants to tackle this year races without any pressure and try to do his best.
I said that the time to deliver is 2008 and so next year it will be another story. I will be under more pressure then.

This shows then that he will be part of the Peugeot le Mans program also next year :up:

No doubt about that.
Gene is fast, he is motivated, he will stay with Peugeot next year.

And so will Minassian, Sarrazin and Lamy.

Regarding Bourdais, as he will enter Formula 1 in 2008, he should not be allowed to continue with Peugeot too and as for Villeneuve, it's the same situation (Nascar in 2008).

But something tells me that both Bourdais and Villeneuve will continue with Peugeot too next year.

A nice computer animation with the 908.

Now Peugeot and their drivers should have done their first long-distance test(1000 km) but no news... :confused:

Peugeot were testing at Valencia (S) late in February (February 26, 27 and 28) with one car. They were working on the set up. Don't know what happened and the outcome of this session.

The 2nd 908 is now completed and Peugeot will test on the HTTT around the end of this week with 2 cars. :up:
All drivers should be there except Bourdais (Champ car test). Helary should be there. They intend to prepare the first race of the season (1000 km of Monza) so I think they intend to start a big endurance test...
