The Team Peugeot TotalEnergies squad set to take part in the 2026 FIA WEC will include six full-season drivers and two development drivers. The Brit Paul di Resta (age 39) and French driver Loïc Duval (age 43), the two most experienced on deck, have been retained for a fourth full FIA WEC season. The French carmaker has also recruited talented newcomers Malthe Jakobsen (Denmark, age 22) and Théo Pourchaire (France, age 22). Belgian driver Stoffel Vandoorne (age 33) returns to lead the charge while Nick Cassidy (age 31) is brand new to the team. The New Zealander was the Formula E runner-up in 2023 and 2024, and has already completed two test sessions at the wheel of the 9X8, including the FIA ​​WEC Rookie Test where he clocked the second fastest time of the day.

Two development drivers have joined the team: Jean-Eric Vergne (age 35) and the Brit Alex Quinn (age 24) who first took the wheel of the Peugeot 9X8 at the Rookie Test in Bahrain.

The precise composition of the crews will be announced early next year.

Olivier Jansonnie, Peugeot Sport Technical Director: For 2026, we are confirming a solid and well-balanced line-up of six full-season drivers, combining youth and experience. Loïc and Paul, who have been with us since the start of the programme, remain our pillars, their expertise and dedication continue to play a key role in our success. We also welcome Nick, who will make his FIA WEC debut in 2026 and has already demonstrated impressive speed in other championships, as well as Stoffel, who knows the team very well. Their talent and experience will be valuable assets. Malthe, after a very strong first season with us, continues to show great potential, and Théo impressed in his first race in Bahrain, both represent the quality of young talent within our programme. We’re also pleased to welcome Alex, whose Rookie Test in Bahrain showcased both his performance and his motivation to progress at the highest level. He will be supported in his development driver role by Jean-Eric, whom we had already confirmed for 2026.
