DSC received a note this morning from the Pescarolo Association, the fan club associated with the team, announcing that Pescarolo Team is now officially gone forever:

“The Pescarolo Association in 2011 had so many great moments, but unfortunately lost its primary purpose.

“Pescarolo Team has finalized its work, never to return.

“Henri Pescarolo would like to thank you once again for your faithful support. During the 2011 and 2012 seasons, the presence of our fans was a great comfort to all the team, materialized by the huge list of names of members in the pits.”

Henri Pescarolo’s involvement in sportscar and endurance racing was somewhat unparalleled, racking up 45 participations in the Le Mans 24 Hours – 34 as a driver and 12 team owner. This is sadly the end of an astonishing era for the French fan-favourite.

Pescarolo Team last appeared at Le Mans back in 2012, before going into liquidation a year later.
