I hate to think what allowances the ACO has promised them. French winner for the centenary year of 2023 perhaps?

2 points worth considering here.

1- Could be enough to secure Hypercar and haltthe DPi 2.0 backup conspiracies?

2- Could this be encouragement for those on the fence to commit? Mclaren I know are thinking over it, and a few VAG brands have been mentioned...

This feels like it came out of nowhere.

There was this rumor though:

So, factory program or not?

No, I mean that it is surprising because there weren't many preceding rumors.

I think the rumoured 2017 return that never materialised probably put everyone off saying anything this time haha

Yes, it's as surprising as they withdraw before the 2012 season.

I don't understand what sense it makes to enter this for 2022 LM (or 2023 if they mean the 22-23 winter season) given that it will get very limited running period, before the class mercifully gets replaced by Zero Emission for 2024-2025

Because not enough manufacturers will sign up for zero emission so they will BoP them all together.

"WEC from 2022" is the wording so clearly must mean debuts at WEC 2022-23 round #1.

From your link:

Quote:
However, unlike its previous factory 908 effort, which was run in-house by Peugeot Sport, it’s understood ORECA would be behind the customer or semi-works effort that would likely be run under the Rebellion banner.

While not commenting specifically on the matter, ORECA President Hugues de Chaunac told Sportscar365 last month that it has been in discussions with two OEMs on possible technical partnerships around the WEC’s new-for-2020 formula.

It’s believed the partnership could begin with an engine supply program for Rebellion’s R13 LMP1 car, which would be eligible to be grandfathered into the top class for the 2020-21 season.
If correct, one would assume the Toyota-Oreca partnership will be ended. Did anyone say Joest?

Oreca 07 beta + 508 engine, bopped, shmopped, balanced, standardized, equalized, summarized = obligatory Peugeot title in ACO series. Where can I bet?

But my hopes and dreams of the return of technological top class, something Zero Emission promised to present, it is what gets me through through these upcoming difficult years... it's like believing in religion maybe me and helgi, and I don't know arakis if he still breaths, should form rebellion of sorts to fight the Empire

Well well well the rumours where true after all, interesting. The question is who is going put there hat into the ring next...????

Oh yes and just one other point (that I have picked up from the Midweek Motorsport Collective over on Facebook) if they come in in 2022/23 then there first Le Mans will be 2023 which of course is just in time for the Centenary Celebrations at Le Mans....

Hopefully this puts off the 0-emissions for another couple of years. I'm more interested in hypercar than a formula-e sportscar type series. Think these cars are slow, the 0-emissions cars will be GTE pace unless they're carrying a huge battery and allowed mega amounts of hydrogen or something. The worst thing about hypercar is bop and the huge amount of weight. I'm glad Peugeot are coming back, now if Aston Martin fails, they can have someone else to fall back on.

I would assume they'd be running big batteries and fuel storages anyway, in order to ensure smooth running and no constant visits to the pits.

Formula E is cheap, glorified spec racing, that's now what the proposal here was

I wonder if when they say 2022 they might do selected races at the tail end of the 2021/22 season to get some racing miles under their belt. The 2023 thing is interesting, i wonder how Porsche and Audi are going to feel if Toyota or Peugeot win the centenary race..
