Spa WEC: Peugeot, Jota, Lamborghini Confirm Driver Plans

Peugeot will field just two drivers in both its Hypercar class entries at the Spa 6 Hours WEC race on May 11, with Nico Muller and Jean-Eric Vergne sharing the #93 car and Loic Duval and Gustavo Menezes in the #94. The French manufacturer has opted not to give junior driver Malthe Jakobsen his first race outing in the 9X8, despite being the only other driver considered for the Spa round. Jota Porsche driver Will Stevens and Lamborghini’s Mirko Bortolotti will also miss Spa to fulfil their Formula E commitments with Andretti and Mahindra respectively. Callum Ilott will replace Bortolotti in the Iron Lynx Lamborghini Huracan GT3 EVO2, while Ritomo Miyata will drive the #78 Auto Sport Promotion Lexus RC F GT3 in place of Kelvin van der Linde, who will be racing in Formula E for Abt Cupra. Sophia Floersch will miss the Spa WEC race to begin her Formula Renault Regional Championship by Alpine campaign with the same team, with Michelle Gatting replacing her in the Iron Dames Lamborghini Huracan GT3 EVO2’s all-female line-up.
