Does anyone knows what's happening to Pescarolo this year? The team website hasn't been updated and it seems the team isn't entering the Le Mans Series this year. Some Pescarolo(es) are entered in LMP2 by OAK for Nicolet, who used to be Pescarolo's partner in Pescarolo Motorsport before. Also, the private Peugeot LMP1 entry is gone from Pescarolo to French rival ORECA. Has Pescarolo Motorsport closed down?

bummer. agree, that was a beautiful car and they put together some very solid campaigns. It's hard to compete with near-unlimited budgets, but they put up valiant efforts. would be sad to see both the team and Henri disappear from the sport.
There is the small matter of the totalled 908 at Le Mans 2009 too...I don't think that has been resolved either.
Henri turned up at Le Mans and has been quite vocal about it all. The word "gangster" appears frequently in his description of his business partners. Such a shame. The funding was there to run at least one of last years cars he says in a radio le mans interview yesterday but the new owners rejected it out of hand.
They'll be missed, as they were an important part of the Le Mans 'fabric'. Hope to see them back next year! Nevertheless, I'll be watching the full 24 again this year, can't wait!
At this stage of his life, I guess it will be very difficult for Henri Pescarolo to start from scratch all over again. So we may have seen last year the last of Team Pescarolo. His great French rival Yves Courage has already given up, and ORECA is on its way to become Peugeot B team.
