Antonio Pannullo keeps on producing nice drawings on http://lemansprototypes.over-blog.it/

The inner tunnel of the Pescarolo 03's front fender:

A comparison of the inner ducts of the Pescarolo 03 and the Aston Martin AMR-One:

The solution on the Pescarolo is greatly simplified.

http://endurance-info.com/version2/n...ARnewsID=11238 has an interview with Nicolas Perrin, the designer of the Pescarolo 03.

the complex inner air ducts had to be one of the aces in the hole of the amr-one, seems that pescarolo didn't think like this...

If by, "aces in the hole," you mean unnecessarily complex and exceedingly inefficient, you're right!

alexkiller8 · 8 Jun 2012, 10:30 (Ref:3087414)

ace in the hole according to some declaration of them...

Some declaration of who?

So , are ye still happy to see this abysmal effort from the 03 , and think it deserves a place in the worlds biggest race , at the loss of a 997 IMSA pro car ?

I think not .

**Aysedasi** · 13 Jun 2012, 23:43 (Ref:3090473)

Henri deserves a place for sure, but with this car......, well, it certainly does seem to bear a curse. Even the AMR racing models of this car were selling for peanuts in the Village....

What, another Porsche? I know the IMSA team would be competitive in their class but there's plenty of 997s out in the field already and GTE-Pro is competitive enough to make it exciting.

Hopefully Henri and the team can iron out some of the problems with the 03 and make it run quicker. It's good for them to have two (albeit different) cars on the grid.

Babapapa · 14 Jun 2012, 00:31 (Ref:3090484)

no sponsors on the fin of the dome!

Jean-Christophe Boullion transformed the Pescarolo 03 into this:

That is exactly the reason why Rebellion got rid of him

The Badger · 14 Jun 2012, 07:35 (Ref:3090541)

Whats after happening to him then , he used to be a brilliant driver ?

**Aysedasi** · 14 Jun 2012, 08:19 (Ref:3090559)

He's been throwing cars off the road at Le Mans for several years now. I'm surprised Henri took him from Rebellion.....

alexkiller8 · 14 Jun 2012, 08:33 (Ref:3090564)

maybe because wasn't so expensive to pay as driver? btw will be able the 03 to run tonight?

I just want to see a car that works (just happens there is a very quick pro car thats not in and its a 997) and can bring a fight to the race . So far this is exactly what I expected from the 03 , which I said weeks ago , and was reprimanded for saying so .

Others said that they wanted it to be in the race ..... I say it should be there if it deserves to be there .

Question : from what we have seen , does this car deserve to be there over a proven quick car of any class ?

I hope they get it fixed , I really do cuz I have tremendous regard for Henri ..... but it aint lookin good .

Sadly , certainly on the cards for first retirement .

**Aysedasi** · 14 Jun 2012, 10:38 (Ref:3090679)

I still want to see it in the race - period. Over another Porker? Yes, without a shred of a doubt.......

The Badger · 14 Jun 2012, 11:26 (Ref:3090757)

And what happens if it doesnt even take the start ?

We are having a real go at it today mate ,

Pescarolo has issued a statement that the car has been rebuilt and it will take part in the 7 PM qualifying session today.

From the points I was watching the P03 was lapping perfectly consistently this evening and didn't look scary in the way I've seen some cars look downright unpleasant.

I see no reason why it can't run perfectly respectably at the weekend, and having it here over another Porsche? Absolutely yes.

I agree, it's certainly a worthy addition and beats the pants off another droning Porsche GT. Plus it's right in the heels of the much further developed Oak LMP1, this in its first outing period, not to mention its first running at Le Mans.

btw. how's #17 Dome after the crash that caused red flag?

It looked like the crash only sheared off the front bodywork, no damage to the suspension or front wheels (at least as far as we can see). They'll probably have the car ready tomorrow or at least by race day. Definitely going to make the race though
