And the possibility of a socialist president in France doesn't help.
A socialist lead government has the tendency of making company cut down on non-production cost, like sponsoring, in fear of heavier taxation.
A company like Total, is a company which i fear will cut back severely on their Motorsport spending - unfortunately. (This is just an example, i know Pescarolo isn't sponsored by Total)

It seems that the honeymoon period is over.

Luxury Racing and Team Pescarolo kept to themselves ...
If at Sebring the two entities were merged into the paddock, this is not the case this weekend at Spa-Francorchamps. It seems that the association Luxury / Pescarolo is well and truly ended after only one race.

Or ACO just grants them a "force majeure" waiver or something to use the old fossilized Pesca 01...

That is never going to happen. The waiver for non-compliant aero was a one time exception (Sebring). Additionally the 01 does not have the correct engine either.

Rules are meant to be broken and modified, it's a FIA championship... hell, we have a "GT1" World Championship that only goes to two continents

There is still the issue of tyres. Michelin stopped development of the smaller front tyres.

Without money Henri can not transform the old 01 into a 2012 compliant car

Dome is only interesting in show casing the car at Le Mans. Henri would have to buy the Dome and as you said, he is short on cash.

true, but if the dome s102.5 let them to score a good amount of points in lmp1 trophy, maybe dome can change his mind. Won't be a bad publicity for dome an overall winning car.
