Henri Pescarolo and Jacques Nicolet are delighted to announce the creation of Pescarolo Automobiles. Both men, united by a common passion for Endurance racing, are setting simultaneously industrial, sportive and educational objectives. Pescarolo Automobiles will specialize on the study, construction and commercialization of sport prototypes.

Pescarolo Sport and Saulnier Racing will focus on proving on the racing track the quality of the products of Pescarolo Automobiles. The products will include, as a complement of the high performance LMP1 car, an LMP2 prototype which will be released in the coming months. This alliance will count on one side on the evolution of Heritage Racing Cars’ activities, based on the restoration and exploitation of historical racing cars and sport prototypes and on the other side on the development of the Sports Mechanics European Institute which will benefit young technicians through experience acquisition and the participation in the Group’s activities.
