Recently-reconfirmed Toro Rosso driver Sebastien Bourdais is to combine his 2009 Formula One commitments with two sportscar appearances for Peugeot, including the epic Le Mans 24-hour race in June.
Bourdais was announced by Peugeot on Tuesday as part of a nine driver line-up, which also includes Ferrari Formula One tester Marc Gene and BMW Sauber counterpart Christian Klien.
