Peugeot announced this morning that it would be taking one of the new Peugeot 908 HDi cars to Paul Ricard for the official Le Mans test on March 25,26. It’s interesting to note that 1 car and six of seven drivers will be coming along for the session. The entire team, save one driver are making the trip.
That one driver would be none other than superstar Jacques Villenueve. Is this a legit absence, or is JV already not playing well with others? One thing is certain though, he could use a shave and a haircut! Images from a previous test session at Le Castellet show his new look that could be called French Canadian Farmer Chic.
