Luc Alphand?
whats his plans for Le Mans? Last year he teamed up with Care, and it was rumored he would team up with courage this year, but i doubt that will happen, since Belmando now did. Is he going to be back with Care or will he just race his Porsche in GT? I really enjoyed seeing him run in GTS with the 550 with frederic Dor and Jerome Policand.

The most reliable source, except Luc Alphand himself, is for me David Legangneux ; beeing a french journalist, he's quite informed, and reasonabily prudent ; he posts Luc Alphand in a Porsche in his own entry list.
So you should be right 19dodge : no Courage for him, but we expected a Pesca Courage Evo though... Henri's budget is still not completed... |

Le Mans is the main purpose of Pescarolo's team this year again. They place their hopes in the Judd.
Two cars are expected ! (AUTOhebdo) |

I've got £4.32 in my pocket - do you think Henri would be interested?
(Damn, I could have got the Jordan drive with that if I'd thought quickly enough...... ) |

I can't understand how he can't fund a 4 race LMES program yet can buy Judd engines, employ someone like Andre De Cortanze and have Playstation/Sony sponsorship.
Other LMP teams would love that. Surely he would have a better chance of attracting funding etc. by competing for wins in the LMES rather than vain attempts to win at LM. If he has to employ a team of pay drivers, he would still be better off IMO. Afterall there are a lot of quality pay drivers out there. Last edited by JAG; 23 Feb 2004 at 16:58. |

He needs a 3 M€ budget, and lost 66% of it with Peugeot. For the rest, I don't know... |

I heard/read him say that he needs the funds to pay for top class drivers. But wouldn't it be better just to be on the grid, even with pay drivers?

It would be for some, it depends how serious he is. I know for some s-called "gentleman" drivers, just being there in the race is all that matters, but, like Alfonso (our new member), Luc is perhaps serious about winning. He had a decent car with some decent drivers last year...... |
