We welcome the final @FIAWEC Hypercar Rules. After our 8th 24 race @nuerburgring we’ll gear up for the WEC 2020/21 season. We welcome @AMR_Official and we invite any and all other manufacturers of hypercars to join too. For us, if it can’t race for 24 Hours, it’s not that hyper.
I think we can take this as an official announced by Big Jim that they'll be on the grid.

For me, this is the most exciting of the 3 announced projects.

The idea that Glickenhaus, ByKolles, potentially Rebellion, SMP... will all be able to actively compete against AMR and Toyota is pretty exciting, regardless of the technology involved.

I hope we see more manufacturers, whether it be in year one or later

I agree and I think it this will look the most "GTish" too. I am glad the hypercar regs have worked out.

Just because it's going to be a boring old bop class with theoretical clone lap times and fuel mileage doesn't mean the privateers are magically going to be at the heels of OEMs at Le Mans. The manufacturers are the ones paying the bills and lawyers, they will get the better bop treatment. The very essence of bop is corruption.

Maybe privateers will be allowed to win some of the "lesser races" to make em feel welcomed. Also makes the pretense of 'competition' more compelling for OEMs as well, as long as they're not at danger in LM

If I recall, this was planned to be a hybrid effort but I can't remember what the engine choice was. GM based?

Also, will this fit into the prototype side of the regs, or the street car based side? They plan on selling road versions but it is being developed as a prototype.

We get it, we get it, you like to ****, moan, whine a cry about things you don't like, don't understand and want everyone to hate. Sorry but you have ZERO evidence of any of the bullshit you exclaim and frankly I'm absolutley f'ing tired of it. Get a life and move the hell on, find something else to watch before you drive everyone off of the site

I don't like that LMP1 is becoming a BOP class, but in fairness, it's been that way to varying degrees since like forever it seems. GTE is, GT3 is, DPI/the rest of IMSA is. You can either accept it for what it is, or find something else to do.

And IMO that goes for everyone on all sides of the debate.

After seeing LMP1 implode relative to what it was, and become insanely expensive, I'm in favor of anything that brings in new blood and variety, like what we have in GT racing.

Glick is set to begin production of the hypercar in Sept and hopes to have a test car by the end of the year:

https://sportscar365.com/lemans/wec/...or-2020-debut/

Most interesting is the potential of a twin-turbo V-6 from a major OEM. Off the top of my head I believe that describes the engine in the Ford GT, but i think a few others have a similar engine available.

The previous HPD Prototypes had a turbo V6. The current car is a twin turbo HPD V6 I think.

Thanks, I totally forgot about that! I was thinking about the short lived Caddy GT3 program that also used a TT V6, but thought that would be a stretch. Do any of the German companies use a TT V6 in racing applications?

Hi
Pleased with N24. We were 2 OA when we came together while passing and broke a headlight. We came in and replaced 2 Fenders/radiator support/ etc. in 16 minutes. We went back out in 20Th and made our way back up. We were fastest on the straight (aero) and had the lap record up until the end when having moved up to 9Th we settled down as the gap to P1 (13 minutes) could not be made up in time allowing. IF we hadn’t Lost 16...
We gave her a wash, mounted road tires and set off to The RedBull Ring to parade the F1 Race. If you’re there say hello. I’m off To Monaco with my wife and Modulo. We will have our new Glickenhaus 004C which will be GT2/SPX/GT3 at The Ring in 2020. We will drive to and race The Baja 1000 in 2019 in our Glickenhaus Boot. Both of those will be V8 powered. Our Glickenhaus 007LMP1 will likely be built to prototype rules and we will have road legal examples. 600HP ICE RWD/150HP FWD KERS. Likely TTV6 ICE. More to come...

The video of the 003 swapping out to road tires and heading off after the N24 was just the coolest. Beautiful car too

Excited for all you guys have coming!
