Peugeot at Le Mans, any drivers known ?

[harvick#1]

Guy Smith could be one of the three drivers to be picked

It seems, yes, Harvick...

But for the drivers who would run only le Mans in the 908, that'd be a hard task, they would have to discover the car a few time before the race itself...wouldn't have been wiser for Peugeot to take 6 "full time" drivers(who run LMES+le Mans) ??

F1racing.net write that Marc Gene would have been invited by Peugeot to run le Mans 2007 with them !!!

[harvick#1]

yeah Sebastien is only going to run Lemans so he better find some time to test the car before having the commitment back to CCWS.

According to Endurance Info, the 908 has already been tested on the Paul Ricard circuit(Castelet)...

Yes it's a big news indeed ! So the 908 has completed its first test ealier this week in the South of France on the HTTT (Paul Ricard circuit).
No pics and no information available yet.

Let's notice that the first time on track is only 5 months before the 24 Hours of Le Mans race. Of course, 5 months is very short. For sure too short to be competitive at Le Mans this year. But we already knew that.

So let's wait next week and the official presentation now.

According to various sources, the car is quite different from the scale model presented last September !

Four days left to wait !!!

Interesting and amazing !!!!

from a guy on a french forum, Peugeot would be testing the 908 since thursday(Castelet circuit)with Minassian, Sarrazin and...Lamy(ex Aston-Martin GT1 driver like Sarrazin) !!!!

[Tom206wrc]

Three days left to wait !!! :


The livery of the 908 could be black and blue(colors of the Peugeot-Sport truck)!!!!

[1LM1]

Black and Blue should be nice! I can't wait the official presentation.

Otherwise, Pedro Lamy seems to be a very good choice. Fast and a huge experience in car testing.
