Vandoorne secures full-time Peugeot WEC drive
Belgian driver Stoffel Vandoorne, the 2021-22 Formula E champion, will join the Peugeot TotalEnergies team’s full-season FIA WEC Hypercar driver lineup in 2024, following the departure of Gustavo Menezes. Vandoorne recently made his first WEC race start with Peugeot at Fuji, filling in for the injured Nico Müller. This marks his return to the top class since the 2018-19 season. Vandoorne expressed his excitement about joining the team for the upcoming season and his eagerness to create more endurance racing moments. Menezes, who has been with Peugeot since the beginning, announced that the 2023 finale in Bahrain will be his last race with the team. It is uncertain if Vandoorne will be called up for the Bahrain race, as Müller’s availability is still being determined.
