Collard: “Henri is 15 years younger”

With the exception of the 1000 Kilometers of the Nürburgring in 2009, an event during which he was not able to take the wheel in the race, Emmanuel Collard had not worn the colors of Pescarolo Sport since 2008. He is performing this year his return to the Pescarolo Team for a complete program in the Le Mans Series and, the highlight of the season, the 24 Hours of Le Mans. " It had been two years since I left the stable. I'm very happy, he told us. As we opted for the old "revisited" regulations with our car, this remains an unknown for us because we do not know where we will stand in the face of the new engines, in particular ».

For this campaign, the Ile-de-France resident will team up with Christophe Tinseau, an old acquaintance, and young Julien Jousse, new recruit to Henri's gang. “ I know Christophe (Tinseau) well. It?s a good thing to have him by my side because he?s a solid reference, we know what he?s worth, that he?s reliable and fast in addition to being a nice guy. I don't know Julien well yet. I followed his results last year in the Superleague Formula championship and we know that he has the performance despite still being young. He wants to learn and there is no reason for it to go wrong ».

Having known him well for many years, “Manu” confirms the arrival of a new Henri Pescarolo. “ It is back up to 200%. I feel like he's 15 years younger! He is super motivated, happy to have rebuilt his team and I will really do everything to ensure that everything goes well this season He concluded.
