I'm torn because a part of me has a lot of respect for Henri - for fighting tooth and nail to pull something together when the odds were stacked against him. He almost wanted it too badly that he wasn't prepared to bide his time.
But you have to stay visible if you want to attract any business. I just think the way he went about the last few months had some elements of desperation in it - as we saw evidenced by some of his various turmoils. I think that ultimately devalued and hurt the reputation of his outfit.
I don't naturally have the full details, that's just my feelings. But full respect to the guy for wanting to go racing. His legend status was secured even before I was born.

Well said Simmi.
Henri Pescarolo is proof that "all pr is good pr" isn't always true.
Perhaps Henri believed to much in the "old" Le Mans where the under budget underdog had a fighting chance, instead of realizing that he could never be more than best of the rest, when the manufactures participated.
