Bourdais to race for Peugeot at Le Mans

http :// www .autosport,com /news/report.php/id/56185

Peugeot have confirmed their 2007 driver line-up for Le Mans this
morning at a launch just outside of Paris.

The French squad announced their driver for their campaign in the Le
Mans Series, and also confirmed the addition of Jacques Villeneuve and
Sebastien Bourdais for the Le Mans 24 Hours.

Bourdais and Villeneuve join Frenchmen Stephane Sarrazin and Nicolas
Minassian, and former F1 racers Pedro Lamy and Marc Gene.

The new 908 car, which tested for three days at Paul Ricard last week,
also completed a few laps around a small circuit just outside of Paris
this morning.

What!!?? None of the American short track oval heroes? None of the
heroes of Friday night dirt tracks? No up-and-coming midget heroes?

I guess they'll have to reconfigure LeMans to be a half-mile dirt oval.

Doesn't matter. The IRL drivers won't seem to get the chance to try it
in a real race.
