LM24 Pesca Liveried 908

miguel1810 · 27 May 2009, 13:32 (Ref:2470226)

Not bad looking in the Pesca house colours... Expect it to whip the R10's and be in amongst the AMR's

Should be interesting seeing the first customer Dieseil cars. Should see Kolles up there in the R10 too. Perhaps re-enacting last years race behind the works cars?

Dani Filth · 27 May 2009, 17:21 (Ref:2470350)

i'm pretty sure the Pesca pug will smoke the Kolles cars .. you just have to look at drivers .. Pagenaud and Bouillon .. Pesca have loads of experience too and the 908 should be miles ahead of the R10 too

Mmm I agree it's a great driver line up and that Pesca know how to run a fast car, but it really shouldn't be miles ahead of the R10 should it, the car that's beaten it at every Le Mans so far ? Kolles are just appearing to be doing a bad job.

Good to see some Pesca green on the car though

The R10 beat the 908 because Audi did such a good job, not because it was the better car. Now that the better team has the better car I'd expect a very clear result.

Oh no I can't see it.
I get "text language English" and that's all, but so what, I've seen plenty of photos of the car in its new livery

Steve Tarrant · 27 May 2009, 20:30 (Ref:2470489)

Picture is there for me!

As much as I enjoy the factory battle, I'd love it (but can't see it happening) for Pesca to finally get one over the manufacturer teams. But we can all dream ....................!

I have nothing against either Peugeot or Audi, but I think we'd all like to see someone like Henri win. It's not impossible, but only with the diesel.

I don't agree with that, for the conditions last year over the 24 hrs, the Audi was the better car and if it rains again this year will the 908 suffer the same problems ?

It was the first year that I actually wanted the 'star' Audi to win and that was because they were the underdogs after practice/qual, it was a joy to watch and witness....a great race.

I can see it Ayse, although to be fair if i couldn't there would be something very wrong. Loving the Getty sponsorship on the side, i hope they stick with it! i think i'll adopt it as my car of choice.

zac510 · 27 May 2009, 22:25 (Ref:2470586)

I think it looks great. Pesca have had one of the best liveries over the last few years and it translates well onto the 908.

Good luck to them

Having seen them at Spa trust me, it's no illusion, they really are doing a rotten job.

That 908 looks superb in the Pesca livery, could well spring a surprise over the works cars, and wouldn't that be great!

GT6 · 28 May 2009, 07:14 (Ref:2470711)

I would agree with sarthe82 watching the pair of R10 trolling around together for hours dropping further off the pace proved to me that the cars have moved on and the R10 is now past it's sell by date. The Pesca's were not that far off the 908 pace and the new 908 pesca could and hopefully will spring a surprise.

I would love Henri to get his first win as a team but think the factory Audi's and pugs will be almost unstopable and AMR can only get better.

The Badger · 28 May 2009, 07:49 (Ref:2470729)

I reckon if Joest was still running the R10's ..... it would take the win .

and if their Pug isn't that far off the factory ones .. Pagenaud might spring a surprise in qualy

Peugout was about to win Le Mans last year. There were 3 seconds a lap faster in the dry and the #7 car only lost 2 minutes to problems when they had to vacuum clean the radiators.
The only way Audi could have beaten Peugout, was to drive a perfect race as the #2 car did. Be faster in the pits and go as fast as possible. That car was miles ahead of the other Audis, and i would take the drivers in those cars ahead of the Kolles drivers anyday! No way a Kolles R10 would be able to challenge a 908.
And i don't think even Joest would be able to win with the R10 this year. The only reason they had a shot last year was because of the weather and bad Peugout pitwork. As we saw at Sebring, Peugout has improved the pitwork immensely. R10s will have no chance this year, which is why they build the R15.

I am hoping for a good run from the Pesca car. It should be the best behind the works diesels. And if they have a clean run, the works cars cannot afford many mistakes if they want to beat Henri's boys.

Pesca-liveried Pug > normal Pug

Talking about livery, of course.

**Aysedasi** · 28 May 2009, 17:58 (Ref:2471071)

I for one would have a huge smile if Henri could win with that 908. Firstly to see someone else win - at last* and secondly, I think Henri deserves it for his support of the 24 Hours over so many years.

(*Whilst my annoyance at Audi's dominatiojn of Le Mans is well-known, I freely accept that they thoroughly deserved it last year with #2....

)

undoz · 29 May 2009, 14:35 (Ref:2471637)

I love the livery, it looks awesome on the 908! So much better than the factory Pugs.

It will be very interesting to follow Pesca's pace versus the big two. It added another bit of spice to the race.

yes, but to be fair Joest could run the WR and still have a shot at winning.

As pretty as the Peugeot is in these colours, personally I'd love to see Pescarolo's own car beat their Peugeot - it's the first time we've seen a team run a diesel and a petrol and I'm wondering if the gap is as big as we (me included) expect.

Dani Filth · 29 May 2009, 20:38 (Ref:2471824)

the difference between the #16 and #17 was quite big already at Spa .. not sure about the reasons .. so expect the pug-pesca to be ahead of the Pesca-Judd

I would love to see Henry take the win, maybe more so than Aston.
