Glickenhaus planning to enter third Hypercar in Le Mans 24 Hours

Team founder Jim Glickenhaus has revealed that he is contact with an existing sportscar entrant about teaming up to run an additional Pipo-engined 007 Le Mans Hypercar in the double-points WEC round on 11/12 June.

He told Autosport that contact had been made after the team put out what appeared to be a speculative tweet about the possibility of running a third when race organiser the Automobile Club de l’Ouest announced on Monday that entries for Le Mans were reopening.

“They are people I know and they contacted me after we did that tweet,” said Glickenhaus.

“I’m not saying that we have a deal, though it is agreed in principle, or even if the ACO will accept another car from us, but we are working hard on this.

“I think we have a chance of putting it together.

“We don’t have three cars at the moment, but we can make it happen it by working 24/7 for three months.”

The team has until 3pm Central European Time on Wednesday (9 March) to complete the entry procedure.
