Yes, probably, but it's hard to imagine him being unable to find it - just look at the support here for him and imagine that spread worldwide - and particularly - France-wide. I'd almost expect a queue to be forming as we speak.....

He could adopt a similar sponsorapproach to Jan Lammers' checkered livery with his Racing For Holland project a couple of years ago. I bet Ten-Tenths would show up on his car(s)!

Best sportscar news of 2010 btw!

It's been done many times, by Jan - even by Paulzinho's dad!! (Tim Lee Davey). I even have the Sponsor Club t-shirt to prove it!

Just dreamin ..... but if there was an American team , considering on doing the LMS (Like Drayson does in ALMS) Henri would be one hell of a team manager to have in your squad . Let him off to mastermind a Le Mans assault for a manufacturer , I reckon he could do it all ..... But also I dont feel thats what it is all about either .....

I think what the happy thought is , is the possible return of Pescarolo Sports . I think he made a name for himself bigtime taking it to the Audi's , year in year out , closer than most ever got , and I also feel that he developed one massive fan base because of that privateer V's Vorsprung Durch Technik ..... Imagine the cheek !!!

I wanta see his Pescarolo Sports team back again .

yamato should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid
so where does this lead them technically?

I guess the obvious move is the Judd 3.4L that has been running in P2 can be put in the P1 chassis,...... are there other viable options (HPD, Zytek, AER)?

What would need to be done to the chassis other than the BHF (big honkin' fin)?

Do they leave the car as is and operate under restricted grandfathered rules?

If the history of the ACO is taken into account,... old cars get pretty much castrated.

Much will probably depend on the level of sponsorship/budget that can be raised, I would think.

I wonder if Sony/Playstation/Granturismo will go back to Pescarolo or stay with Peugeot!?

But i wonder if there is any big firms, who are well known in motorsports, who is currently not sponsoring anyone!? (Kinda like Gulf before AMR)

A bit of nostalgia and kindness isn't going to take Playstation off a possible winning car.

The news is great, but what would the team be running with at Le Mans? The grandfathered-in cars running in LMP2?

I think that the ACO will do whatever they deem necessary, in relation to their rules, to help make Henri's team competitive next year. This will be a marketing bonanza for them.

I read in the E-I interview that Henri says he can count on Moutl and Le Sarthe which is a start anyway.

As was the kind person who donated 5000 euro to the cause at the auction.

This was my thought too. Makes too much sense not to. Two car team, one with the gentleman/pay drivers and another with a strong pro line-up.

Pescarolo Sport is dead.
Long live Team Pescarolo!

Henri's new team will be independant from OAK and will probably field 2 LMP1's.
Good news indeed

I have been away a few days and am just learning about this! What a great story, almost a miracle, cheers to these gentlemen for such a wonderful gesture! After seeing the OAK Pesca at Petit I was worried we would not see these chassis again, not now!
