Henri Pescarolo
A promise kept:
Pescarolo is back to Le Mans
A dream come true!
Looking back today at the 2010 edition of the 24 Hours of Le Mans feels
strangely odd. Le Mans has always been my favorite playground and being
transformed into a journalist for a week, I followed the race from the pressroom,
with occasional trips to the TV commentator’s booth. Being so close and yet
so far from the racetrack, knowing that the judicial liquidation of the Pescarolo
Sport racing team would start in a few weeks was indeed a very strange
feeling for me. One year later, after an incredible chain of events, the situation
has radically changed… for the best.
During the Pescarolo Sport liquidation, two friends - Joël Rivière and Jacques
Nicolet - buy all the assets, and immediately entrust me with it. Then, my
faithful partners La Sarthe and Motul instantly renewed their confidence in
me. Shortly after, the enthusiastic boss of Autovision MOT inspection network
Pascal Karras became our major sponsor, soon rejoined by other partners like
Nerim, Eolen, and Renault Rent.
On January 3rd a new racing entity was born: Pescarolo Team Autovision.
Only new on the outside though, since I hired back the entire crew from
Pescarolo Sport led by Claude Galopin. Choosing a racing car was another
obvious choice for me: the LMP1 Pescarolo fitted with a 5 L. Judd that should
have raced in 2010 seemed perfect for the job. Add three talented drivers
behind the wheel in the likes of Collard, Tinseau and Jousse and you have, in
theory, a pretty competitive package. The reality proved me right with a win in
our debut race at the 6 Hours of Le Castellet. After the 2nd round at Spa, the
Pescarolo Team Autovision is leading the Le Mans Series Championship and
the Michelin Green X Challenge and we are getting ready for the Everest of
motor racing: the 24 Hours of Le Mans.
Unfortunately, the diesel LMP1 are out of reach despite a small performance
readjustment. For this terrible race, we’ll capitalize on our greatest strength:
reliability. Our team’s technical expertise combined to a homogeneous and
competitive trio of drivers will do the rest. After all, anything can happen…
