[WEC] Glickenhaus Hypercar

[Bentley03]

I'm sorry to see Gus dropped to the bench for Le Mans, he'd definitely get a seat if I was doing the roster, but I guess there are factors we're unaware of at play here.

Excited for Le Mans!!!

If it were me and I had a roster where one driver needed to be dropped from the lineup, one of the ones who is leaving at the end of the season would probably be top of the list.

I think it's realistic, bearing in mind Gustavo's move next season, however he has a great deal of LM experience - in a prototype - which Ryan and Richard don't.

[Bentley03]

Yes, I'd completely forgotten he's off to Poojoe next season, his omission makes perfect sense when that's factored in.

Yes, just like a former Poojoe driver, Mr Villanoove....

Mod. Let’s keep this thread to Glickenhaus and their LMH rather than how social media works

I'm looking forward to a proper endurance race in Hypercar.

There was a nice article about Glickenhaus in today’s excellent Autosport Le Mans preview. Talks a bit about some of the classic LM cars he’s got. Now that shows he has the passion

Go to his site and check out his garage. He's converted a few to street cars and drives them regularly in Upstate NY.

Now that is fever. Why use an everyday car when you can just convert one already in your garage?

Well if Jim is still watching this thread, we will be down at le mans on Wednesday and will try and say hello during our stay, but whatever happens we will be cheering as the car goes past, bet of luck for the race.

I think it unlikely that you'll get anywhere near the pits Simon......

So uh, where are the names of the 100s if not 1000s of people who bought shirts to have their name on the cars for le mans? Still to come or am I missing a graphic on the cars? I thought I saw something on one of the cars, but it looked like a pretty short list compared to what's on the website.

[Adam43]

I didn’t know it was on the website too.

Hadn’t thought to look on the car. I’ll keep an eye out. There are a lot of names, must be small

Edit: watch people going on the car.

I presume they get bigger names

***It appears that Glickenhaus Racing will not be eligible to compete in the WeatherTech Championship, per IMSA’s rule of having a minimum 2,500-unit volume requirement for each manufacturer. “It’s IMSA’s intent to maintain that [rule] for all of the manufacturers competing in IMSA competition,” series president John Doonan said.

***While currently producing road cars, it’s understood the American manufacturer has not yet reached the numbers that IMSA requires, nor is it interested in completing IMSA’s marketing agreement, which is another requirement for entry.

Yeah, he's been loud about the marketing tie-in being illegal market restriction or something similar to that in the past. Agree but seemed very passionate and angry about it but haven't heard much recently

Shall we call it the "IMSA's Middle Finger to late Don Panoz" rule?

[joeb]

Had anybody seen pictures of all the names on the cars yet? I've seen video clips but that makes it hard to read!

[Adam43]

I've seen a decent picture of the people who bought the watch, but not the T-Shirt mob (I'm wearing mine )

I know the race could have gone better for Glick so far, but as the race settles in, it's great to see them bombing round the track in the fading light.

I bet Jim is loving it.
