Pescarolo, proud to beat Audi

Having entered a Peugeot 908 HDi FAP which finished in the background, Henri Pescarolo is pleased to have helped Peugeot to victory, 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.
