Could replace Villenueve at Peugeot, or take up a spot with Audi if the old guard are released.
At 33 he's in his prme for Le Mans. |

Alex Wurz would be a great addition to any team's driver line-up. Since he is no longer doing F1, he would make a great addition for either a LMS or ALMS team for the whole season as well as Le Mans! Is he considering this?

He talked about 2 more factories coming on board. Does anyone believe he is correct?

I fully support Alex coming back to sportscar racing, after all he is a Le Mans winner and overall his is a good racing driver.

Mercedes got something up there sleeve? Well a very wild guess here. Wurz has been with mercedes for quite a while... But this is a wild speculation
Good to see Wurz come back |

Two manufacturers? I'll say the two most likely:
Honda. Toyota. |

It'd be great to see Wurz back in the top sportscars again.
I remember the great fight I've seen him in a Merc CLK-GTR at the FIA-GT Spa-francorchamps 1000km in '97,when he had a fierce battle with Peter Kox in his Schnitzer/Bigazzi McF1 LT. There was rain(Spa) and on a drying track to two of them were in a class of their own... |

An article on F1-Action website states that it's sure Wurz will drive at Le Mans despite his Honda F1 contract...
