Menezes announces Peugeot WEC exit after Bahrain finale
A 28-year-old man from California announced on his Instagram page that he will be leaving Peugeot’s 9X8 Le Mans Hypercar program after the Bahrain finale in November. He expressed gratitude for the three-year journey with the team and the memories they made together. While he didn’t reveal his plans for 2024, he mentioned that it will involve something fast. Gustavo Menezes has been a part of the #94 Peugeot line-up since their return to prototypes in 2022. The team’s most notable achievement this season was a fifth-place finish at Portimao. Menezes joined Peugeot after his time with Rebellion LMP1, where he had three WEC victories and a second-place finish at Le Mans in 2020. There is speculation that reserve driver Stoffel Vandoorne could replace Menezes, but scheduling conflicts may arise due to Vandoorne’s commitments to Formula E.
