Vandoorne gets Peugeot WEC drive for 2024 season after Fuji cameo

Stoffel Vandoorne will race for Peugeot in the World Endurance Championship on a full-time basis in 2024 after making his debut with its 9X8 Hypercar in Fuji earlier this month.

The Belgian joined Peugeot as a reserve driver for 2023 alongside a Formula E programme with fellow Stellantis-affiliated squad DS Penske, and was called up to sub for Nico Muller in Fuji when the Swiss injured his collarbone.

After finishing seventh in Japan aboard the #94 Peugeot alongside Loic Duval and Gustavo Menezes, ex-Formula 1 racer Vandoorne will become a full season driver for 2024.

Writing on social media, the Belgian said: "Finally!! Joining Peugeot Sport next season and super happy to be back on the WEC grid!

"I’ve had some great moments in endurance racing and I’m excited to create many more together."

The announcement follows Menezes revealing that he will depart Peugeot at the end of this season.
