Sébastien Bourdais and Nicolas Minassian surrounded by the whole team Pescarolo Team have unwrapped their new toy. The beautiful Dome S 102.5 immediately found its place in the workshop. With three programs to manage at the same time, it is a hive of activity: one side the Pescarolo 01 in final preparation before leaving for Sebring (Jean Christophe Boullion was also there to cast his tub), the other the Pescarolo 03 being assembled for the WEC, and the Dome before its first test in early March. After a quiet winter, it is really fun to see such activity. Everyone had a big smile. "
