It seems to be a bit of a three-way split, with Gravity, Pescarolo Sport and Henri himself all at odds, with the latter the big loser. What a shame.

Gravity (Genii) is no longer interested in Pescarolo, they clearly state that they "will nevertheless maintain a watching brief on endurance racing, and has not ruled out the possibility of entering this category in the medium term."

"From the horse's mouth"... an interview with Henri on Endurance-Info (only in French so far): http://www.endurance-info.com/versio...ance-4226.html

And from the tone of the interview, we will definitely see both LMP1 Pescarolos pulled out of the entry list...

Damn you Jean Py!

Yeah. Henri sounds extremely bitter, sore and angry in that interview, and probably with every right.

He's hurt.. He's VERY hurt, and i'm afraid that he's hurt so bad that he will never come back.
Hope someone helps him with an entry this year to keep his spirit alive!

Perhaps Henri could act as a technical consultant, and bring some Playstation France sponsorship with him?

Shame to lose another icon.
There goes the neighbourhood.

Correct .

But IF a man with the money comes around!....


We would have the whole mess again (what Pescarolo Sport is in now)
I hope a team HIRE Henri for running their cars. Renault?

Given the link between Genii and Renault F1, it would be more than a little ironic!

A bit. But how close are Genii and Renault really?, and if Genii have no interest in Le Mans?

I think Genii have effectively bought the F1 team and have a right to use the name for a certain period - which gives kudos to Genii and a quieter way out without losing face to Renault (and Bernie?)

That would be the "Renault F1" name then?.
"Renault Motorsport" or "Renault Sport" should be free for Renault to use freely?. Ei give to Henri?.
But unfortunately a Renault move to Sportscars are only speculation, as they have stated nothing which could give the idea of them doing it. (Did anyone see the Peugeot move to sportscars before it was announced?)

Anyone who was at Silverstone for the LMS race last year will tell you that the Pescarolo was on a completely different planet in terms of performance to anything else on show ( Aston Martin, Lolas, Orecas, Zyteks... ) going from last to first with consumate ease. Its a massive shame if it doesn't race again.

A complete and utter disgrace that one of Sports car racing's most heralded legends has been treated like absolute crap, shameful. All we can do now is hope we see Henri's team on the grid in some form or other, at least we still have OAK. Perhaps OAK and Henri could run a single LMP1 at LM? possibly piggy backing the Mazda France deal to give Mazda a presence in LMP1, with a car which everyone knows is very quick could be a solution.

We can all hope, and I for one am hoping that things get sorted out and we will at least see Pescarolo Sport racing in the future, whether it be just Le Mans or just LMS or both.

The Pescarolo situation is, for me, the most disappointing story of this year's Le Mans. Le Mans just isn't the same without Henri being involved - in some form or another. A great shame.
