Current Projects
For the 2009 24 Hours of Le Mans, Pescarolo Sport announces that one of the cars Pescarolo will run in the race is the diesel-powered Peugeot 908 HDi FAP loaned from Peugeot itself; they will run in the 24-hour race along with its Pescarolo-Judd original vehicle.
For the 2012 season, Pescarolo announced that it would race a new car in the World Endurance Championship based upon the ill-fated Aston Martin AMR-One project. The new car would be designated the Pescarolo 03 and built around the tub of the AMR-One, of which they took delivery of 2. The car was entered in the 2012 24 Hours of Le Mans race in the LMP1 class as the #16 Pescarolo 03, but retired within the first two hours of the race due to mechanical issues.
Pescarolo also entered the #17 Dome S102.5.

Famous quotes containing the words current and/or projects:
“What in fact have I achieved, however much it may seem? Bits and pieces ... trivialities. But here they won’t tolerate anything else, or anything more. If I wanted to take one step in advance of the current views and opinions of the day, that would put paid to any power I have. Do you know what we are ... those of us who count as pillars of society? We are society’s tools, neither more nor less.”
—Henrik Ibsen (1828–1906)
“But look what we have built ... low-income projects that become worse centers of delinquency, vandalism and general social hopelessness than the slums they were supposed to replace.... Cultural centers that are unable to support a good bookstore. Civic centers that are avoided by everyone but bums.... Promenades that go from no place to nowhere and have no promenaders. Expressways that eviscerate great cities. This is not the rebuilding of cities. This is the sacking of cities.”
—Jane Jacobs (b. 1916)
