Bourdais leaves door open for Sebring, LeMans

UPDATE #2 Sebastien Bourdais has again admitted that he is in talks with Peugeot about a factory ride at LeMans next year. “There’s no doubt one of my objectives is still to win the 24 Hours, and the best way to achieve that is to race with a manufacturer," Bourdais told Autosprint. “For next year the regulations won’t change much, so I don’t see realistic chances for private teams. The door is always open with Henri Pescarolo, but he’s always told me not to let the chance of racing with a manufacturer go by."

10/26/06 Rumor in sportscar circles say that Frenchman Sebastien Bourdais could team with Dindo Capello in the new diesel powered French Peugeot 908 LMP1 entry at LeMans next year. Bourdais could do Sebring too, but it's thought the new Peugeot won't be race-ready by then.

10/25/06 When asked in this interview whether he would run any races other than Champ Car in 2007, Sebastien Bourdais said, "I could potentially appear like I've done in the last few years and especially this year in Sebring or things like that. This year, Sebring and LeMans, would be pretty much the ones that are doable. And after that, it becomes pretty hard for me to do something. My priority is to try to win the Champ Car World Series title again and I can't go there and keep getting distracted."
