[LM24] Pescarolo Sport future plans...?!?!

[avvelenamento]

little problem is that pescarolo wants to enter in lmp1 class. Oak chassis are simply pescarolo 01 chassis, open cockpit lmp1. 2014 lmp1 need to be coupè.

I would like to see him involved in Alpina project. If Renault come back in Le Mans, Henri may be the right choice to bet.

You won't see Renault back anytime soon.
Nissan has announced that they wish to enter Le Mans (under the right circumstances), and this eliminates Renault as the Renualt/Nissan company isn't big enough to do what VAG does with Audi and Porsche.

Right. He must settle to race in P2 now, raising funds for a future P1 program( or hoping for a manufacturer interest...).

I was meaning Renault/Nissan as the same, because part of the same group.

Well , call me a medium then . But I do recall forseeing that his AMR/Pescarolo effort was going to be a disaster ..... and would do him no good at all

[The Badger]

Give Henri a Toyota and let him play with it .

[Maelochs]

Whatever car is chosen ... give Mr. Pescarolo a real budget. My greatest fear is that his proposed €4 million budget simply won’t be enough and he will field another unreliable, under-developed effort and disgrace his own name and past, as well as losing all his money for nothing.

I can understand wanting to keep things cheap to attract sponsors, but at some point spending too little costs more than spending more and actually getting return on the investment.

[avvelenamento]

give henri this, give henri that... is motorsport or charity case?

[Mr Pink]

I don't think he meant the "give" part litteraly.

Here's hoping for two Domes on the grid! One run by Henri and one run by Dome themselves.

[Gingers4Justice]

Despite what happened last time with DOME, I think Henri shouldn't go with anyone else.

DOMEs have always been quick. Even last year, given the fact it had an engine completely unfit for the chassis which itself was 4 years old, under-developed and built for different rules, it was pretty remarkable that it was about the same speed as the JRM HPD and the OAK.

DOMEs also tend to be under-developed compared to some of their competitors as they're neither popular nor regularly raced, for one reason or another.

But now everyone's on the same boat and I can see Henri getting much more car for his 4m with DOME than with any other constructor.

Please Henri - pick DOME!

Very much on point!

But that's not the Adess car. Adess developed it, but Kolles claims to own the IP and plans to market it as Lotus in the near future. Meanwhile Adess seem to have their own P1 (iteration?) in the works.

As far as Oak is concerned, if Henri Pescarolo mentioned it as an option, I'd say if anyone knows of the Oak P1 project status he's gotta be that person!

I wish Henri would partner with someone who's a better businessman or even take a sporting director seat in another team.

I thought Dome has stopped work on the 2014 LMP1 for the time being since there is more interest in their LMP2.

That's what they said, but I'm assuming that would change as soon as there was interest in the P1 car.

Wind that neck in ..... and theres nothing like a spin on a story and a few lies .

You wouldn't happen to be a journalist , would you . Ill have my phone hacked next !!!



Oh , wont the Judd GV4 be available again ..... a good reliable engine that Henri has a lot of experience with .

[Pandamasque]

I say dig out the Matra V12.

I fear Dome's also come with a heavy price tag which would keep many away

[avvelenamento]

I fear that dome lmp1 will be the dome lmp2 built with compatible lmp1 specs like the adess-lotus t128, equipped with an lmp1 engine.

True. I don't think I'll be buying one any time soon.

It depends on if they where happy with their last collaboration and sees it as a good move for them to repeat it, doesn't it? Should be good marketing for Dome if Pescarolo runs one of their cars in the WEC with good results.

I was replying to why Dome in general hasn't had much success in selling their cars.
I suspect that Dome will sell their new chassis for a favorable price, if not for free (like I posted earlier )

I was thinking along the lines of letting Pescarolo or some other team leasing a chassie to showcase their new car and be able to sell a few more coming years than they otherwise would have. So i guess we have similair ideas then.

But what do we know, the way Dome handles business tends to surprise. The only thing I'm shure of is that it will be one of the best customer cars available, likely THE best.

Deep down inside the depths of our hearts, we all want to see Henri succeed. Talk about "never say die"...
