Pescarolo Withdraws From Daytona |
No Time For Modifications |
|
Marc Laffeas has discovered that Pescarolo Sport have reluctantly decided not to enter at Daytona. A rule concerning the exhausts doesn't suit the existing configuration of the C-52, which is fiited with side exhausts situated just ahead of the rear wheel at the bottom of bodywork.
Henri explains:
"A modification of this position to rear-placed exausts generates a heavy workload. We are too busy with the development of the new C60-Sodemo for being involved in parallel with the modification of our C-52 that ran so well Le Mans 2000. So we will concentrate on our Le Mans (C60 and C52) effort and maybe several races in the SRWC and A / ELMS."
Bad news for sports car and Daytona fans. This car was for sure a potential winner for Daytona 2001. A victim of the strange state of sportscar racing worldwide. |
