As far as I understand, Loeb's retirement is pretty much off the table again.

Latest information from the EI forum is that Loeb will not drive at Le Mans. See http://www.endurance-info.com/versio...143359#p143359

Wasn't the exact same rumour spread around last year at pretty much the same time? And it turned to be pretty much utter b*ll*cks. Only difference is that last year it also had the name of David Coulthard thrown around as well.


Also, I'm sure I read a quote from Quesnel some time last year which indicated that the plan for 2011 in terms of drivers is to stick to the same 9 drivers as in 2010. One thing's for sure, Anthony Davidson is definitely staying with the team, his on-stage appearance at the Autosport Show is definite proof of that.

Joe Taylor should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid
According to the ACO, the answer is non: http://translate.google.co.uk/transl...Loeb_2751.html

I think that is just an assumption. Something we all assumed last year but no one has heard anything about. Not long to wait I suppose.

A very logical assumption because the LMP1 coupe project of ORECA was cancelled.

Yeah absolutely a logical one. You'd have bet your house on some kind of tie-up for 2011. Drivers have been announced. I suppose it figures that any Peugeot privateer announcement should come AFTER the works stuff.

Seven-time World Rally Champion Sebastien Loeb has been tipped to return to the Le Mans 24 Hours this year: an event that he has already contested twice, with a best result of second place in 2006.

Loeb came close to a Le Mans seat in 2010 with Peugeot, before deciding to prioritise his World Rally Championship campaign and testing commitments with the new Citroen DS3 WRC.

Now though, with Loeb likely to retire from rallying at the end of 2011 – especially if he wins the title again – the 36-year-old is looking at his racing future for 2012 and beyond.

With the Le Mans 24 Hours scheduled for 11-12 June this year, between the rallies of Argentina and Greece, Loeb would have time to take part in the endurance classic – which is not always possible due to the demands of the WRC calendar.

Former Grand Prix Champion Kimi Raikkonen – who will contest 10 rallies this year in a Citroen DS3 WRC – is also keen to race at Le Mans. Discussions have taken place with Citroen’s sponsor Red Bull about the possibility of running a Peugeot 908 in Red Bull colours at Le Mans; with the two rally stars among the driver line-up.
Good news!
This also give Brabham an opportunity, as Peugeot will be able to make new driver line ups (as there is a free seat in the Red Bull 908)

It was the exact same rumour last year with the addition of David Coulthard to those two. Frankly, I'll be astonished if there's any change of drivers in the factory team. Both Audi and Peugeot looked last year to have hit the sweet spot in terms of driver trios, all of them fast and able to match their team-mates. And since the guys down the road at Ingolstadt didn't make any changes, I would expect that there isn't going to be any change here either.


Feb 4th... all should be revealed.

Me neither, I´m pretty excited. Wouldn't be surprised if the car looks a lot different to what Peugeot has shown us so far.

A new livery would be nice Peugeot please. Or just something to tell the three cars apart would be cool.

My bet is also 909 or 9008/9.
Peugeot won't go into the 9XX numbers, but keep their trademark "x0x".

What if it's just 90X, I hope not, I hope it's 912HY. 911 is Porsche, but 912 sounds good. 910 would be ok too, but 912 sounds good, or maybe that'll be their next car.
