After competing in IndyCar in 2024 and in the European Le Mans Series in 2025, Pourchaire will also drive for Peugeot in the World Endurance Championship's hypercar category alongside being Mercedes' new development driver.
He joins Doriane Pin, Joshua Durksen and Anthony Davidson in that position.
