For a man who is so experienced at Le Mans, he sadly seems to have misjudged the risks he's been taking in recent years.
The only thing going for him is the sponsorship that he could raise. He's always had his cars plastered with logos from French companies, and some big ones too like Gran Turismo and Playstation. The Pescarolo name is a name that means a lot to a lot of people. Stalls at Le Mans this year were still selling the merchandise and fans had flags with the green helmet on them.
That's got to be worth something.

It could also be that Henri is starting to feel the age pressing on, and therefor wants the last shot(s) to be in the top class?

Exactly!
Henri is one of the best men to have on the sporting side of the company, but one of the worst to business side.
