Kevin Magnussen is set to join Peugeot’s World Endurance Championship lineup, according to a report from Auto Hebdo.
Peugeot are set to mark their return to sportscar racing by entering the upcoming Hypercar category of the series which will become its new top class. Peugeot’s programme is set to commence from 2022.
And forming part of their line-up it’s reported to be former Formula 1 driver Magnussen who left the series at the end of 2020 following his release from the Haas team.
Magnussen is set to form part of the six-driver team from 2022, where he reportedly will be joined by fellow Danish racer Mikkel Jensen who made the switch from junior single-seaters to sportscar racing in 2017. He was part of the Eurointernational outfit which won the LMP3 class title in the 2019 European Le Mans Series.
Kazuki Nakajima says he is worried "politics" will determine how Toyota's battle with new top-class World Endurance Championship rival manufacturer Alpine will play out in 2021
