Peugeot at Le Mans, any drivers known ?

LMS will hopefully be a bit more exciting then last year, were the only exciting thing was guessing how far ahead the Peugeots would be. The Peugeot-Audi battle will be fun to watch.
Is there any news on a Pescarolo Peugeot, or were that just rumours?

Wow sounds good. And that'll be when we see the new livery with the new sponser if there is a new livery?

No idea about any new liveries on the 908s :mark: but one thing becomes more sure everyday, the arrival of the big sponsor smells a third car effort for Le Mans(the new sponsor would help to reduce the cost of another car for the factory) !! :)

About Ricardo Zonta driving a 908 at Le Mans, http://www.autosport.com also has an article... ;)

Wow, 88 teams want to compete in Le Mans this year!

And 4 teams wanting to have closed top cars?
1. Peugeot
2. Charouz
3. Sebah Racing/Speedy racing
4.? Epsilon Euskadi? Surely their car isn't ready yet????

Thank you SpeedTV for this great 15 minutes 53 s video about Peugeot's experiences at Sebring. It includes very interesting interviews with Pedro Lamy and Bruno Famin (Technical Director).

Thanks 1LM1 :bounce:

Interesting !!! Peugeot-Sport spokesman told to a canadian newspaper after Sebring Winter Test that Jacques Villeneuve is still in the team's plan this year despite all noises saying that he won't have time for Le Mans with Nascar project !!! :)

According to today Auto-Hebdo, there will be three 908s at Le Mans(so confirmation of what we nearly all guessed) and french driver Anthony Beltoise(son of ex-F1 driver Jean-Pierre Beltoise)would be part of Peugeot 2008 Le Mans team :eek: :eek:

So if we gather all the different non-official informations we have until today, we could know the 9 drivers of Peugeot for 2008 Le Mans race :bounce:

My bet...

Peugeot 908 number 7: Nicolas Minassian/Marc Gené/Jacques Villeneuve
Peugeot 908 number 8: Pedro Lamy/Stéphane Sarrazin/Frank Montagny
Peugeot 908 number ?: Anthony Beltoise/Alex Wurz/Ricardo Zonta



Now we have to wait for next week(friday 15th february) :p :

I look forward to the LMS ths year with the pre LM battle between Audi and Peugeot.
