It had to rain. For nearly three months we didn’t get one drop of rain in Le Mans. Not one. But we had to have heavy rain Sunday, on the first scrutineering day, pouring down on the Pescarolo boys who opened this year’s 24 Hours of Le Mans.
What is impressive, however, is how many people showed up to greet Henri and the rest of Pescarolo Team for their return at Le Mans. The people of Le Mans love Pescarolo and the his team’s spectacular comeback left everybody in admiration. In just one year Henri build a new team, revamped an older car and won the 12 Hours of Castellet, leaving behind teams with many times his budget, such as Aston Martin and Rebellion Racing.
So back to scrutineering, these are our awards:
- most cheered team: pescarolo
- most difficult car to get a picture of: Audi R18
- second most difficult car to get a picture of: Peugeot 908
- most beautiful paint work: Flying Lizard
