    So you assert that Comas and Ayari have been chosen by Peugeot??
    I admit it's a real surprise to me.
    How do you know that?

    I found earlier today on the internet an information from a very reliable person: Peugeot have already signed 5 out of the 6 drivers they want.

    Can you confirm that Ayari and Comas are among them?

    Thinking about Comas, I am not so surprised actually.

    I think he fully meets the 3 qualities (speed, reliability and team spirit) that Peugeot expect from a driver. What surprises me is that I heard that Peugeot is looking for young drivers. And as Capello has probably been chosen too, I am surprised.

    But I think Comas (former very good F1 driver) is a very good choice.

    As for Ayari, I am surprised.
    I think I am surprised because the comments on him from Pescarolo about his mistake (at Le Mans 2005) and about what Ayari said after this mistake.

    I think on Hélary too... When I say Ayari could be one of the drivers, I have to remember he drove a Peugeot 406 Coupé Silhouette in ST...

    Ok thanks for the explanation.
    I think I understand now. You may have got confused between Hélary and Ayari. The two names are confusing and they were indeed both Peugeot drivers in ST as you said. Hélary is the one who is supposed to do the shakedown. He is the test driver. He won't drive the 908 in races, it's official.

    Bouchut said he won't drive the 908 in an interview earlier when asked what he would do next year.
    Besides, if he won Le Mans in 1993 with Hélary as team mate with the Peugeot 905 (the other team mate was Geoff Brabham btw), they hate each other.

    Anyway thanks for the news about Comas and wait and see regarding Ayari.

    Peugeot said that 5 of the 6 drivers have been signed
    Brian France is a violation of Section 12-1 (actions detrimental to stock car racing)

    So we can begin to place some bets!

    According to someone living in Montreal, SpeedTV announced in last evening television news that Peugeot have signed Stephane Sarrazin!

    So my bet is:

    Sarrazin, Minassian (or Comas if eloyf1 is right), Bourdais, Capello, De La Rosa and Gavin.

    But regarding De La Rosa and Gavin, it's pure speculation
