The news is surprising, even if it was expected. Financially struggling for several months, Glickenhaus had given up participating in the last two rounds of the 2023 championship: Fuji and Bahrain. In 2024, it will be the whole season.<\/p>\n
\u00ab No, we are not going to commit ourselves. To be competitive, we should make an advanced version of the car and run two. It’s not viable for a private individual: the only way to do it would be with sponsors, or if a client wanted to run a program with our car \u00bb, says Jim Glickenhaus, the boss of the team.<\/p>\n
He justifies this choice due to a lack of sponsors. And this despite, good performances in WEC and at the 24 hours of Le Mans, with a podium in 2022 and having finished ahead of Porsche and Peugeot, this year. \u00ab We stepped on the podium in 2022, and this year, we beat Porsches and other Peugeots, hard to do better! We were major players in the championship when they needed us. \u00bb<\/p>\n
However, the American does not forbid himself from participating in other endurance races, worldwide, with the 24 hours of N\u00fcrburgring in his sights. \u00ab We will return to the N\u00fcrburgring one day, because we promote what we sell. \u00bb<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
