[Le Mans] ORECA-Peugeot surprise !!!!
Hi,
Stunning and incredible unexpected news today in endurance world !!!! Oreca's Hughes de Chaunac and Peugeot's Olivier Quesnel announced a superb deal: Oreca will lead the 4th 908 at LMS and 24h of Le Mans race in 2010...and will get a Peugeot engine(instead of the current AIM)for the 2011 season !!!!
Chaunac explained months ago he was looking for a partnership with a big constructor, here he has a great one
Of course, that means end of partnership with Henri Pescarolo

fantastic news, will they have a 2008 spec or will it be a current one for LM. Hopefully Oreca will fare better than Pescarolo did last year

Apparently should be a 2010 spec. 908 for Oreca
And from 2011 a factory-equal ACO spec. V8(no idea if gazoline, HDI or Hybrid)

it should be a good 24 Hr race, too bad AMR is out in 2010, but they will be back in 2011

Young and talented driver Nicolas Lapierre just announced on Endurance-Info that he signed a deal of two years with ORECA and will drive the 908 at LMS + Le Mans in 2010 and the future Oreca P02-Peugeot in 2011 !!!
These news were expected, but not official until recently...
The other ORECA driver for 2010 LMS+Le Mans should be Olivier Panis, but for now nothing official yet
