WEC: The Pescarolo 03 withdraws from the 6 Hours of Spa

Jean-Christophe Boullion, Julien Jousse and Emmanuel Collard will have to wait for the 24 Hours of Le Mans for the competition debut of the Pescarolo 03. The French team had planned to take its two crews to the 6 Hours of Spa-Francorchamps to prepare for the La Sarthe event, but the Dome S102.5 driven by Sébastien Bourdais and Nicolas Minassian will be the only one on the trip. the Pescarolo 03 could not be prepared in time after elements remained blocked in Great Britain by suppliers, the “main partner (of the team) having only very partially met its payment deadlines. »

If this delay is a disappointment for the team which will lack information for the double round of the clock in Sarthe, Henri Pescarolo hopes that the Dome S102.5 will fly the colors of his team high on a circuit where the boss has many memories. “The Spa-Francorchamps circuit occupies a special place in my heart. Since 1973 I have held the absolute speed record at an average of 262 km/h. And it has often been very successful for my pilots. I hope that 2012 will not deny this, and will provide valuable information for the 24 Hours. Waiting impatiently for the Pescarolo 03 to finally put its wheels on a track. »
