Following the incidents that marked the final round of the 2008 Le Mans Series at Silverstone, however, only one Peugeot 908 HDi FAP will now make the trip out to the United States.

The No. 07 908 HDi FAP will feature a grey livery and will be shared by Frenchmen Nicolas Minassian and Stéphane Sarrazin, along with Austria's Christian Klien who will arrive directly from the Singapore Formula 1 Grand Prix.

Pedro Lamy will also make the journey out to the States for the pre-race test session. Nicolas Minassian and Stéphane Sarrazin have previous experience of Road Atlanta, too: Nicolas started the 2006 race on pole-position in a Creation, while Stéphane claimed GT1 success the same year with Aston Martin.
