Stoffel Vandoorne will be involved in three different series this year after being announced as Peugeot's reserve driver in WEC.
The announcement follows Vandoorne leaving the Mercedes Formula E outfit with which he won the 2021/22 title to join DS Penske, which is part of the same Stellantis automotive group as Peugeot., who announced his decision to step down from racing last year to become the team principal of Maserati MSG in FE.
He has since made a full recovery and returned to racing last month at the Mexico City E-Prix, which marked the start of FE's Gen3 era. With his new role in WEC, Vandoorne will be involved in three different championships this year, having also been announced as a test and reserve driver for Aston Martin alongside Felipe Drugovich."I feel that the programme I have is really the perfect schedule between endurance racing, Formula E and Formula 1," said Vandoorne.
2023 will mark Peugeot's full campaign in world championship-level sportscar racing in over a decade, having joined mid-way through the 2022 season at Monza.
