Just this week, I got the diecast model of his '73 LM winning Matra, and I was thinking how an era was over, with him not being there with his team, actually racing. Henri is part of the Le Mans landscape, it is great to hear that he will be back. As others have mentioned, you don't expect to see noble and generous deeds like this, done at this level of motorsport these days. I hope it all comes together for him and his team. Whether they actually make it to Le Mans next year and going up against the might of Audi and Peugeot, it will be a big ask to get on the podium, but he's done it all before and with the will of most of the sportscar racing fraternity, and France behind him, I wouldn't discount the possibility.
