Anybody think there is a chance we will see Jacques Villeneuve drive for Peugeot this June? I'm keeping my fingers crossed but have no clue if there is a point in doing so or not. lol

http://www.endurance-info.com/versio...Prez_908_2.jpg
car #1: Marc Gene, Alexander Wurz, Anthony Davidson
car #2: Nicolas Minassian, Franck Montagny, Stephane Sarrazin
car #3: Sebastien Bourdais, Simon Pagenaud, Pedro Lamy
Christian Klien will be a reserve driver
Fantastic to see "the Ant" in the team :D
No surprise though, he tested the car last year and impressed the team despite being "replaced" by experienced David Brabham ;)
Lamy/Minassian/Bourdais and Wurz/Gené/Davidson will be the crews at the ALMS 12h of Sebring later next month(20th march) :cool:
Then all three cars, the ORECA one, the Audis and the Astons(Lola)will offer us a FANTASTIC show in Belgium on 9th may(LMS 1000km of Spa), one month before Le Mans...
Geneva Motorshow LIVE :p :

Many news for this thread me thinks :D
In 2012 there should be changes among the drivers/crews since 2007 start of the Le Mans project...and perhaps surprises ;)
This week Kimi Räikkönen will test the 908 and be evaluated by Bruno Famin and co. to decide if the ex-Ferrari F1 Finn champion will be part of the team in 2012...rumours a few days ago also mentionned German Nico Hülkenberg but no news since.
Also Stéphane Sarrazin and Frank Montagny are there to prepare the next 6h of Silverstone ILMC round alongside Simon Pagenaud(who could replace the wounded Anthony Davidson)
On his side, Peugeot-Sport's test driver Jean-Karl Vernay will start devellopment of the hybrid powered 908...
After Pedro Lamy(official here)rumours mention Marc Gené and Nicolas Minassian as next drivers who leave the team at end 2011...in the same time current ORECA driver Loďc Duval is considered as next factory Pug driver too...
Let's update this thread soon ;)
Would be a shame if 'quick Nic' Minassian lost his drive - always impresses me. Don't think Quesnel's choice of drivers is the best.
Hope that Audi beats them badly in every race. That was no way to treat Lamy at Le Mans!!

Go, go Peugeot :bounce:
Very interesting news: both Brazilian Luca DiGrassi and Belgian Bertrand Baguette also had a test with the 908 :confused:
