Three new drivers have been named for the forthcoming FIA WEC rookie test in Bahrain next month, following the eight-hour season finale. Peugeot will run Théo Pourchaire and Clément Novalak, former Formula 2 drivers, behind the wheel of the 2024 9X8 during the test. Team Peugeot TotalEnergies’ technical director, Olivier Jansonnie, expressed excitement for the young drivers’ fresh perspectives and the opportunity for technical feedback. Victor Martins, an Alpine Academy driver, will also test an Alpine A424 for the first time, aiming to showcase his potential and learn from the experience. Additionally, Lamborghini factory driver Franck Perera is confirmed to test the SC63 in Bahrain, eagerly anticipating his return to the track. These drivers, along with previously confirmed Reshad de Gerus and Gillian Henrion, are set to bring a wealth of talent and diversity to the rookie test.
