Pescarolo, proud to beat Audi

Seen from the outside, one might believe that Pescarolo Sport?s record is really not good. A 908 HDi FAP made a mistake, a Pescarolo which finished eighth, after other “petrol” (Lola-Aston Martin and Oreca-AIM), the record holder for participations in this legendary event must be below his expectations. Despite everything, he gave a positive assessment of this week at Le Mans. “We were there to help Peugeot to beat Audi, so it?s a success. »

On the other hand, he recognizes the place gleaned with Pescarolo-Judd could have been closer to the lead. “ We finished in an honorable place, not the one we expected, it's true. »
Then returning to the elimination of the Peugeot 908 HDi, the team boss recognizes that this exit from the track shattered his ambition but Pescarolo prefers to be positive. “ We had a great human adventure with Peugeot. It's frustrating to see it end against a rail in the middle of the night because we could have completed the podium. » As for his presence or not in 2010, the boss's decision remains entirely linked to the future regulations of the ACO.
