Peugeot set to field two drivers in at least one Spa 6 Hours entry
The French manufacturer has announced Malthe Jakobsen as the replacement for Jean-Eric Vergne and Stoffel Vandoorne, who will be on Formula E duty in Berlin. Jakobsen, a 20-year-old Danish driver, is currently Peugeot’s WEC junior driver. Motorsport boss Jean-Mart Finot stated that decisions are pending for the Spa 6 Hours on 11 May and emphasized that they will not bring in external drivers. Finot mentioned the possibility of Jakobsen filling a seat and confirmed that having two drivers in each car is feasible. Vergne and Vandoorne will not skip Berlin to race at Spa, as DS cars cannot run without drivers. Several drivers from other series are expected to miss races due to WEC commitments, with some teams opting for dual drivers for performance advantages.
