Peugeot has announced that test and development driver Alex Quinn will be promoted to a race seat in the Hypercar class for the 2027 FIA World Endurance Championship. The move follows what the team describes as a reshuffling of its driver line-up, with Quinn stepping up after work in Peugeot’s development programme.
Outlets report that Quinn has impressed Peugeot in his current role, including driving activities connected to the 9X8. He is noted as having completed his first laps in the car during last November’s Bahrain rookie test. The coverage is based on Peugeot’s own announcement and focuses on the timing and rationale of the promotion, while offering limited detail beyond Quinn’s progression from testing to racing.
Across the reports, the key emphasis is that Peugeot is preparing its 2027 Hypercar team by converting a test role into an announced race opportunity, rather than announcing any immediate change for the current racing season.
