Well they'd have to do quite a bit of updating to current rules to race it at any ACO sanctioned event.

Otherwise, where else can you race a semi-current LMP1 car? EuroBoss?

Anybody know if the #16 Pescarolo is the AMR-One car or just the old chassis again? I thought that they said at Sebring that Pescarolo, Rebellion, and Audi would only be allowed to run their old cars once, but I'm not positive on that.

#16 is the new car the Pescarolo 03 / modified AMR-ONE

by narboza22 Tue 24 Apr 2012 - 11:19

Hope they sorted out all of the problems Aston Martin had with it because I like Pescarolo, but god that other Dome car they are running is ugly. Its like every year someone turns up with a worse looking car than was on the grid last year.

Pics of the Pescarolo 03/AMR-One. Looks better in the green and white than it did in the Aston Gulf colors imo.

Looks much better in green and white, but it still doesn't do much for me. Here's hoping it lasts a bit longer this go round.

They got rid of the "bulge" that was underneath the nosecone area on that Pesca, thankfully, it was rather "manly"

by **Matt** Tue 29 May 2012 - 23:48

They've done HUGE work to the sidepods... insofar as they actually have some rather than being so slabsided like the ONE. The exhaust area has had some good work done to it. As you say the nose has been played with and there's a new central air intake thats alot higher than on the ONE and th fin seems to start lower too.

by nickyf1 Sun 17 Jun 2012 - 19:14

So, that's Le Mans out of the way. It may have been an Audi domination, but Toyota showed they could keep up with the Audi's for over six hours..

So that fact should make the next race, the UK round, at Silverstone very interesting!

Drivers' World Championship for Sportscars - after Le Mans Top 5:
1st - McNish, Kristensen, Capello - 77
2nd - Lotterer, Tréluyer, Fässler - 70.5
3rd - Dumas, Duval - 67
4th - Gene - 49
5th - Heidfeld, Jani, Prost - 42.5

Is it just me, or is anyone else looking forward to seeing Prototypes racing at Fuji again after all these years?
