Peugeot at Le Mans, any drivers known ?

[Tom206wrc]

One more info from today's L'Equipe: the crews for the Le Mans race...

Sarrazin with Montagny and Klien
Lamy with Minassian and Bourdais
Wurz with Gené and Brabham

[Tom206wrc]

No surprise !!!! L'Equipe was right !!!! Sébastien Bourdais and David Brabham are the lonely "news" among the team(no Villeneuve, no Zonta anymore)...

Villeneuve cost Peugeot the win at Lemans anyway, couldnt drive in the rain if his life depended on it, losing 20-30 seconds a lap

According to today's L'Equipe magazine, ALMS Acura driver Simon Pagenaud would also become Peugeot-Sport test driver !!!!! He would replace Sébastien Bourdais at the 1000km of Spa in may and would be "lend" to Pescarolo to run in the 4th 908 at the 24h of Le Mans !!!! Stunning news

L'Equipe writes the news will become official next week

Personally, I think they should have gone for an open top like Audi - the closed top has visibility issues - and pit stops take longer than the Audi.

Announcement for 2010 season, tomorrow, so get ready

Sébastien Loeb is obviously sure, to replace David Brabham, gone with the Highcroft LMP2 Acura...
Biggest unknown is Christian Klien, more attracted by the Formula One but without program until today

Official until today are: Alexander Wurz, Sébastien Bourdais and Nicolas Minassian.
Also Stéphane Sarrazin and Frank Montagny have been confirmed in radio by Quesnel...
Would be very big surprise if Marc Gené and Pedro Lamy wouldn't be confirmed tomorrow(they should be to my mind)...

Note that Serge Saulnier left Peugeot-Sport, and is replaced by belgian ex-rally codriver(working for Citroën since then)Sven Smeets !!!
Also belgian engineer Christian Deltombe works with the 908 endurance programme(since 2009).

I'm hoping they confirm for Petit again, it would be a shame if they dont.

hopefully, I won't be close to getting hit by one this time
