This is only their second participation, but the American team is not here to just participate, they are displaying their ambitions. After a first edition marked by their 4th and 5th place, Jim Glickenhaus is aiming higher this year.<\/p>\n
“The ambitions are always higher and higher when we come back each year. We are a small team against Toyota, it’s really difficult to beat them but we’re going to try,” he told us.<\/p>\n
During the test day that took place this Sunday, cars 708 and 709 were at the forefront, not far from the two Toyotas. A performance that seems promising for the American who rarely takes off his cowboy hat.<\/p>\n
\u00ab Yes, it’s satisfactory, but it’s just testing. I think we are competitive and we will see later if our times put us ahead.<\/p>\n

The results of his team, at the start of this season, seem to give him confidence before the race, which takes place this weekend. \u00ab I think we showed at Sebring and Spa that our car has speed. We finished on the podium at Sebring and at Spa, we made a mistake and were pushed back a bit. I am very optimistic for Le Mans, we have real chances. Our ambitions are always to win, we would just be very happy to have a good race. \u00bb<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
