Malthe Jakobsen will contest his final race with Team Peugeot TotalEnergies at Monza on November 8, according to Peugeot’s November 2 preview. The team is targeting a points finish in the FIA World Endurance Championship season finale.
Peugeot says the Danish driver’s involvement began with its 2022 rookie test. He subsequently progressed through junior and reserve roles before becoming a full-time racer. The announcement marks the end of this team relationship; it does not establish his next destination.
A return with history, rather than a guaranteed result
Monza hosted the 9X8’s WEC debut in 2022 and its first podium the following year. Those milestones explain the significance of the venue to Peugeot, but they are not evidence of the finishing position it will achieve this weekend.
For readers following the team, the useful comparison is between its stated target and the eventual classified result. Qualifying pace, early race position and a points finish answer different questions. A strong opening stint alone cannot settle whether the six-hour race has met the team’s objective.
When the race is scheduled
Peugeot lists the start for 11:00 local time on Sunday, November 8. That is 15:30 in India, using Italy’s November standard-time offset. Check the organiser’s latest timetable for any subsequent changes; these are scheduled times, not confirmation that the event has started.
The previous round provides context
Our Barcelona race report covers Peugeot’s previous outing. Keep that completed-event account separate from this preview when comparing the team’s progress.
After Monza, a useful follow-up will record the classified finishing positions and distinguish the team’s explanation from independently established results. Until then, the points target remains an ambition. Passion4Drive has not attended the event or interviewed the drivers.
