There is the notification from the LMS though. Here

I do not believe that Simon being with Peugeot at Le Mans is indicitive of there being such a rule.
I think it is more of a contractual issue.

L.P.
Yep, we're reading the same page. It was only when Fiona Miller's name was mentioned in support of those who believe the mandatory 'Gentleman Driver' rule applies also at Le Mans that I began to have doubts. As far as I can tell, this would/could affect Highcroft, Racing Box and Oak, none of whom have confirmed their driver line-ups for June.
