Peugeot unveils tweaked 2024 WEC line-up

Peugeot has shuffled the driver combinations for its second full campaign in the World Endurance Championship with its 9X8 Le Mans Hypercar in 2024.

The shake-up follows Stoffel Vandoorne’s promotion from reserve driver to a full-season seat for the new season in place of Gustavo Menezes.

The Belgian will share the #94 9X8 with Loic Duval and Paul di Resta, who has moved over from the #93 entry he drove last year and in the final half of Peugeot’s maiden WEC campaign in 2022.

Nico Muller has moved the other way: he is now teamed with Jean-Eric Vergne and Mikkel Jensen.

Peugeot Sport technical director Olivier Jansonnie said: “The standard in the FIA WEC is such that you cannot afford to neglect any aspect and so we have worked during the off-season on trying to improve everywhere we can.

“The make-up of the crews is an important piece of the jigsaw and having studied race and test data, we were convinced we could fine-tune the line-ups.

“We are lucky to have six highly-talented drivers, so we decided to optimise each car by grouping together the drivers in terms of their set-up preferences, the aim being to deliver improved performance.”
