Lahaye was at Petit this weekend to set-up the car and prepare it for Nicolet, Da Rocha and Lafargue. As things are now he will not race.

In the Pescarolo? They were having issues trying to even drive the track. What engine is that? It says Judd on the entry list but says Mazda on the car.

They (Oak) were getting passed on the front straight by LMPC cars on Saturday.

Yep , confused !!!

Its a Judd engine , but its sponsored by Mazda France . Work that out .

They ran Mazda last year , and the sponsorship has obviously continued .

He was getting passed everywhere. They had a HARD time turning into the esses, they almost drove off drivers right every time. It's not a hard turn to take either.

It's driven by a trio of gentlemen drivers unfortunately. Had there been funds in place, I guess they could have thrown in a Moreau/Lahaye pairing (possibly with a Charouz or another pro as a third driver) in a second car, and that could have given the LMP2 frontrunners some headaches.

Sadly , an abysmal driver line up for a very quick little car .

Sad really for the first ALMS outing for a pescarolo !!!

Victor_RO · 27 Sep 2010, 13:24 (Ref:2765497)

Well... since it's only one car, and Nicolet is bankrolling the whole project, it was predictable.

Once the race is over, someone should persuade them to keep the car for another day and put a certain French Corvette (and former Pesca) driver in the car to see how fast it can actually go... of course, it won't happen, but it's a good "what if?" thought.

The Badger · 27 Sep 2010, 13:54 (Ref:2765514)

Well , If he is tryin to sell chassis's , one would think he would be most interested in a decent performance from this outing .

Yeah , stick Collard in it for a few laps .

simontibbett · 27 Sep 2010, 15:57 (Ref:2765581)

Stick me in for a few laps, I'd bet my house I'd be at least a second faster.

The Badger · 27 Sep 2010, 17:29 (Ref:2765617)

A second faster than who ?

Nicolet and his mates, obviously.
