Anthony Davidson to miss 6 Hours of Silverstone

Anthony Davidson Needs To Rest A Bit More.

Following his bike accident last August, Anthony Davidson will finally not be able to drive the Peugeot 908 at the Silverstone 6 Hours this week-end.

Broken left collarbone

The British driver broke his left collarbone after he was involved in an accident whilst training on his road bike. While his recovery has been fast, it isn’t complete enough to allow him to race in the best conditions for this weekend 6 Hours. "Of course I can only be disappointed as it is my home race," says Anthony Davidson. "It is a difficult decision to make but it is a wise one. Now I get more time to recover properly and I can prepare the end of the season in a better way."

"Anthony has recovered almost 100%, adds Pascal Dimitri, Peugeot Sport Team Manager. However, we do not want to risk anything for him, as he needs to recover all his sensations, and for Peugeot in its chase for the ILMC title. We need him to race in Petit Le Mans which is coming right after Silverstone."
