A couple of recent additions to the stories covered above
From the Barcelona LMS weekend -
M. Barge also clarified a previous Peugeot statement on the potential for a hybridised diesel electric racer to take to the tracks later this year: “It is true that we are working on a concept race car but this is for a test programme starting later this year, and not for a race programme.”
And from an interview over the Easter weekend with new co-owner of Zytek Lawrence Tomlinson
“On the racing front, we’ll be building some LMP1 cars which will have, we believe, a significant advantage over many of the cars that are out there currently.
“We want to race this year starting at Road Atlanta then Laguna Seca, then Sebring and Le Mans (in 2009) plus the whole 2009 Le Mans Series.
“Team LNT hope to have two LMP1 cars at Le Mans in 2009. Danny (Watts) and Tom (Kimber-Smith) are part of that programme, together with the sort of drivers that you know we like to run. Whether Deany and I will race one we’ll have to see!
