Pescarolo Team One last lap !

The 80th edition of the Le Mans 24 Hours left us with mixed emotions... "Almost a DNS, followed by a DNF after less than 5 hours into the race for the Pescarolo 03 and the Dome S 102.5 not classified, the raw results do not plead in our favor. However, the Pescarolo team is far from falling from grace," said Henri Pescarolo. "The Pescarolo 03 posted very honorable time in qualifying and the Dome was by far the fastest private LMP1 during the night, but the V8 Judd suffers from problems that have severely handicapped us. On No. 16, an engine broke after two laps during the warm-up. And the next one, fitted for the race, quickly overheated and suffered from a chronic lack of power. As for No. 17, the vibrations generated by the Judd damaged many peripheral elements, causing multiple unwanted pit stops until Sunday 9:30, when we had to stop after a new engine problem”. But the final minutes of the 24 Hours of Le Mans were concluded on a positive note... "I wanted to pay tribute to the exceptional team of mechanics, for their outstanding dedication and professionalism. So I decided to restart the Dome for the final lap and pass under the checkered flag. They deserved it! And I especially want to thank our partners who supported us in this adventure. "
