He later went on to start his own team which now competes in the Le Mans Endurance Series, and the 24 Hours of Le Mans. His team is notably sponsored by Sony's PlayStation 2 and by Gran Turismo 4. During the 5 years that Pescarolo has campaigned Courage C60 prototypes, so many modifications have been made to the model that Courage allowed the team to name the car after themselves, such was the differences between their model and the standard C60. In 2005, it was developed further still to meet the "hybrid" regulations, before the change to LMP1/2 format. It is unknown whether Pescarolo will use the newer Courage C65 in the future.
