true, henri's team is incredibly capable, more than a match for the likes of Audi and Peugeot its just the fact that the car is outdated and in desperate need of a new chassis etc etc.
i believe though that henri chooses not to do windtunnel work on the pescarolo, they use some method by which they whizz up and down a airstrip and use some sensory doo da's to measure the drag and so on, hence why the pescarolo is so damn good at high speed tracks and at lemans, predominantly because the car has a low drag coefficient.
the GM powerplant programme would be much better in the hands of oreca courage or shock horror, epsilon as the car's potential has yet to be fulfilled but putting it in the hands of epsilon is a big gamble, could work and it could blow up in people's faces.
as was said on pesca's end, the new red bull sponsorship that is coming along, will it replace the playstation sponsorship or run alongside that sponsor?
