Pescarolo target upset in Brazil

The French driver is just two points behind Pedro Lamy and Stephane Sarrazin, despite the fact that Pescarolo have not won a race this year.

While the diesel-powered Peugeot 908s have won every race this year, the victories have been shared by the two cars, and both have suffered retirements through the season.

"We know our car is more reliable than the Peugeots and so we must pressurise them as much as we can and capitalise on any slip-ups," said team boss Henri Pescarolo.

"Whereas the championship is evenly poised, this season hasn't really been an equal contest in LMP1.

"Peugeot has such a huge technical advantage. To beat them, therefore, would be a very satisfying achievement."

While the 65-year-old admitted that his car will not be as fast as the Peugeots, the team have worked hard to improve the performance of their chassis in order to put more pressure on the diesel cars.

"The team has worked incredibly hard ahead of this race," he said. "We've prepared for the bumpy surface at Interlagos by spending three days on the seven-post rig at Matra and we've learned a lot."

Boullion will team up with Emmanuel Collard and Harold Primat for the Brazilian race.
