Two Glickenhaus 007 LMP-Hypercars will race at Le Mans and the WEC in 2021.
“In 2017 we stood up and said we would race the new Hypercar class,” the Scuderia Cameron Glickenhaus team announced, “We are moving rapidly to fulfill that goal.”
The engineering of their chassis is complete, and engineering on other components is being finalized. The first set of physical wind-tunnel testing has been completed in one of the world’s top wind tunnels.
“We have already met several of our engineering targets, and are applying the lessons learned to move us towards additional targets. We will start dyno testing our Pipo engine next month, and we will be testing our 007’s before the end of this year,” the team said.
Now, SCG has announced that they will be adding a second car and racing a two-car factory team with their 007’s starting with Sebring, Spa, and then the 24 Hours of Le Mans.
Jim Glickenhaus, Founder of SCG, said “Ever since I listened to the 24 hours of Le Mans on my ham radio as a young boy I’ve dreamed of building a car to compete at Le Mans. I’m so happy that we are getting there.”
Pierre Fillon, President of the Automobile Club de l’Ouest added “This exciting announcement emphasizes the allure of our new top class. Incidentally, I should underline Glickenhaus’s great achievements both in building and promoting this machine. I would also like to thank Glickenhaus and all our manufacturers for their contribution to the discipline and their faith in our plans for the future of endurance racing.”
“If it can’t race the 24 Hours of Le Mans, it’s not that hyper. I would love to see other manufacturers join this incredible race. And we look forward to joining fans from around the world on this new challenge,” Jesse Glickenhaus stated.
