Pescarolo makes offer to Peugeot

Henri Pescarolo thinks his team should join forces with Peugeot for their Le Mans project.

"If there is a chance of working with Peugeot (in 2008) then why not do it?" Pescarolo was quoted as saying by Italian magazine Autosprint.

"I was ready to shut down my team, give up the name, and join up with Peugeot," he said. "I told them: 'We have the know-how, you have the money, we'll do great things together.'

"The truth is it wasn't worth it for Peugeot. If we won together, people would say it was thanks to Pescarolo, and if we lost they would say it's Peugeot's fault."

"I will fight for fairer regulations in 2008," he said. "Two hundred thousand people come to Le Mans to see a race, not a diesel parade."
