Pescarolo is the only team capable to compete against Audi and Peugeot. His budget is 1/10 if compared to Audi and Peugeot ones, but Pescarolo Sport is a very competitive and professional team, capable to build a very good car. They've matched works Aston Martin with an old and not full developed V10 Judd engine. Treluyer has driven both Pescarolo 01 and Peugeot 908 HDI. He's said Pescarolo's chassis is more sporting than Peugeot 908 one, and the only difference is the engine. Benoit suggested Pescarolo, with a really competitive engine, might be at the same level of Audi and Peugeot. That's not my opinion... Audi is not interested to Formula 1, because their technical interest for this cathegory is very low. They are interested to race in P1 or, if they would be forced to leave this cathegory, join to GT class, with their new R8 GT3. World title is an interesting prospective for Audi, to support their GT manufacturer image. Penske was rumored to be interested to join with Audi in ALMS, in P1 class. But nothing about this has never been declared officially. Anyway, Penske is focusing its interest in other cathegories, such as Indy. Porsche may choose Pescarolo as its parnter in a P1 program because of his habit to face against great opponents, such as Audi, Peugeot, Aston Martin... Pescarolo is very well introduced in this contest, so he could understand how to manage as better as possible a competitive team. Pescarolo 01 is a formidable car, as fast as works Aston Martin (if not faster, I would say...). RS Spyder has beaten Audi R10, in ALMS, but it has been helped by different rules and tracks nature. Don't forget this. Pescarolo is in P1 class since long time, so if you have to launch a new P1 car, you have to submit the car to a well experienced and able manager. The same Audi has done with Joest. So, Pescarolo may be the right choice for Porsche. Penske is far from Europe since long, long time. This may be a real trouble for them in LMS and Le Mans. Few people know Le Mans as well as mr. Henri. Last edited by Dario911; 26 Nov 2009 at 08:37. |
