It looks like Henri's vision of an all French team to drive the Peugeots is begining to take shape.

Heaven knows what the penance will be :D

As I said before this year's 24 Hours, why does the Pescarolo insist on having a totally French team? The way that Peugeot operates in a global or at least a pan-european market, you'd think one of their Executives would tell him to take his bearded head out of his parochial small-town arse. Personally I was quite pleased that Audi put one over him, and all done with an international line up of star drivers unlike the very average all French Pescarolo team drivers he employed.
Even in the Group C Jag/Merc/Porsche wars there was a good array of international talent proving you could run a patriotic based team without having to be so desperately closed-minded. God, how terribly French it all is. And how terribly "wrong". The curse of the Commer be upon them until such time as they see the light.

I don't think Pecsa will be running the Peugeots. They have recruited the team manager from Swiss Team Sprit to run the works effort.
I understand the Peugeots will have an international flavor to the driver line up. However Pesa seems to think it suits his and his sponsors better to restrict his rosta to only French.
