Olivier Quesnel has been presented with the idea of driving two champions, Sebastien Loeb and Kimi Räikkönen, next summer in Le Mans 24.
Quesnel has been the manager of both Citroen Racing and Peugeot Sport since January 1st 2009.
Peugeot won last year when the trio Marc Gene, David Brabham and Alex Wurz drove the French label to the top.
Le Mans is during the rally-break in the middle of June so both Loeb and Räikkönen would be free to take part in it. Yet they haven't had any discussions over it. Quesnel is only starting to think about it.
David Robertson confirmed to TS that Kimi's contract doesn't have any hinders in his contract that would prevent him from taking part in Le Mans. Robertson also knows that Kimi would like at some point of his career experience the legendary challenges of Le Mans.
Räikkönen made true what Loeb only was planning last year. Loeb would have wanted to drive for Toro Rosso in Abu Dhabi GP. The plans didn't yet come true because he didn't get the superlicense from FIA.
Loeb has taken part in LeMans twice in 2005-2006 and came in second.
