According to a report in the French newspaper L’Equipe, ex-F1 and Champ Car champion Jacques Villeneuve has been added to the already impressive line up of drivers for Peugeot’s return to Le Mans.

Autosport.com says that the newspaper report claims that Villeneuve will join Champ Car champion Sebastien Bourdais and Ferrari test driver Marc Gene, plus Stephane Sarrazin, Nicolas Minassian and Pedro Lamy for the assault with the new 908 car.

If he wins the 24 Hr Classic with Peugeot, Villeneuve will become the first person to win:

• The F1 World Championship
• The Indy 500
• A US national open-wheel title (ChampCar)
• The 24 Hours of Le Mans.

The late Graham Hill is currently the only person to have won the F1 World Championship, the Indy 500 and Le Mans.
