In 1981 Rondeau entered 5 cars; 3 “new” M379Cs in category 6 and 2 in the GTP category to put his 1980 title back into play. Already associated with Rondeau in 1979-80, the Océanic brand is back in the ranks, joining with “Figaro Magazine to sponsor the number 26 entry. Famed Henri Pescarolo, “unpaired” by Jean Ragnotti, teams up with Patrick Tambay, new arrival in the stable.

She was in 2nd position at the end of the first hour of racing behind the No. 14 Porsche 908 of Reinhold Joest. After the accident at Lafosse, a change of fuel pump left her stuck in the pits for more than 2 hours. Pesca starts again but stops three quarters of an hour later and will not resume the race.
