Anyone know the history behind how Henri addopted the bright green color for his helmet , and his cars ?
It looks great . |

First shakedown of the Pescarolo Dome S102.5 will be Wed, Mar 7th, at the Airfield Chateauroux.

Hmmm, we're going to have to watch the cross-over between these two threads, quite clearly......

hope that this dome collaboration doesn't distract the team in developing the 03 car

I doubt it. They're just running it out of the box, aren't they? Or is that too naive a statement?

And Henri apparently wanted to develop the 102.5, but wasn't allowed by Dome, so it will probably be very much like when Pescarolo ran the 908 |

Not a lot of thinking 'out of the box' then.....

I really can't wait to see the 03. Henri has always made fantastic chassis look even better.

well, i'm sure that these dome tests are paid by dome, so pescarolo won't lose money because of this, but their personnel will be after this all the time, putting in stand-by the 03. This should make worry henri pescarolo that should require from dome their personnel for these tests.

Personally I don't think so. It's a great move for Henri. If the car does well, he basks in the glory; if it bombs, it's down to Dome.... I can't see him being necessarily distracted.

Actually i think it's close to no one, as many of the engineers at the test will be Dome's own. the ones Pescarolo need to supply is more or less pit crew and managers, people who might not be involved in any development. (based purely on speculation as i don't know how Pescarolo Team is organized) |

sure, but i guess that will be pescarolo personnel that will have to care about the set-up of the car in the two races, for this i think that important people of pescarolo team will be involved during the tests.

It's AMR-One tub we're talking about here. No, seriously, the front end is quite high in the air, even if Henri is to design all the aero from scratch, the nosecone is likely to be similar. And that beak was the sole feature that made AMR-One so ugly. When I think about it, it may become even worse if he adds OAK-Morgan-esque bizarre sidepods to this thing...

he can incorporate a lower nosecone on the car. Take a look at the deltawing. By using the tub, does that mean he has to use the nosebox as well? He said the only thing good was the chassis. The high nose is apart of the aero. He doesn't speak highly about that.

Therefor i think we can safely assume that the Pescarolo 03 will have a high nose, of some sort, but probably not in the style of the lavaggi styled AMR-One |

Well let's just have to wait and see how it goes... I hope that is different from the rest, but not look like the AMR-One. |
