Vandoorne named as reserve driver for Peugeot

Peugeot TotalEnergies have confirmed that Belgium’s Stoffel Vandoorne will be the team’s official reserve driver for its 2023 FIA WEC campaign.

Vandoorne, the reigning Formula E Champion, has amassed plenty of FIA WEC experience in recent years after the 30-year-old competed with JOTA in the highly-competitive LMP2 category for the last two years.

Alongside Tom Blomqvist and Sean Gelael, Vandoorne finished second in the LMP2 standings in 2021 and narrowly missed out on a win at the 24 Hours of Le Mans.

Peugeot TotalEnergies will field two Peugeot 9x8 cars in the WEC’s premier Hypercar category this season. 

Driving the No. 93 car will be Paul Di Resta, Mikkel Jensen and Jean-Eric Vergne. Meanwhile, in the No. 94 cockpit is Loic Duval, Gustavo Menezes and Nico Muller.
