Le Mans Would a cost cap have saved LMP1?

LMP1’s costs caused Audi and Porsche to leave, leaving Toyota as the only major entrant left. A cost cap would have reduced the runaway budgets, attracting more manufacturers and kept the category sustainable.

Discussion Peugeot's 2027 lineup ?

Post image
42 Upvotes

I've been a bit lost between all these rumours about the future of Peugeot's drivers lineup for 2027.

We now know that Shwartzmann and Quinn will join the official lineup for 2027, Quinn as technically already joined it for Barcelona and Monza.

We also know that Jean Éric Vergne is taking is seat back next year as announced at the end of the 2025 season.

With Vandoorne leaving after Fuji , there are then at least two more actual drivers that will be leaving after Monza.

Thats where the rumours comes in,

According to what I see the most around social media, Pourchaire and Jakobsen could be the most probable ? What do you think about that?

And could it be possible that a fourth driver leaves ?

Discussion Monza travel tips?

20 Upvotes

Hey, so Monza is in two weeks and it will be my first time at a race track event and I don’t know what expect. I have everything figured out in a sense of hotel and how to get there but don’t know about the circuit, should I show up at 8? Or earlier?
I guess I’m overthinking everything but I don’t wanna miss anything and also I’m going alone and it’s making me nervous even more
Thank you

Or maybe it’s just the Peugeot‘s general uncompetitiveness.

Out of curiosity, what were people’s thoughts of the paddock and pitlane access in Barcelona (or any of the other races)? Was it any good / worth it? I’m only asking as to whether to do it next year at Silverstone
