A feeling that Mr Glickenhaus has not actually grasped the proposed regulation package is starting to creep up on me...

Assuming that Glickenhaus would be regarded as a privateer entry, from DSC's piece here (this information originally came from one of the ACO releases)



How is there a difference between the cost for factories and Privateers?
One major difference is that any homologated hybrid drive system used by a factory MUST be made commercially available to a privateer at a fixed cost of 2 Million Euro per season.
What engines are eligible?


Any engine configuration and architecture is eligible with a power limit of 520kW (c.700 bhp), a limit on the number of engines useable per season will be imposed.
