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. |

That's encouraging for the series to have them announcing their project with plenty of time. Only hope more will announce as times goes on

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. |

There was a bit of info about the company in this article
https://karenable.com/the-ambitious-...n-glickenhaus/ It was funny how they got approved to build road cars in the US. |

That hypercar render reminds me of a Ford GT on steroids.

Jim has talked about selling 004s for Ring for customer entry. I wonder if selling Hypercars is on the table?
Rebellion Glickenhaus. Peak awesome. |

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. |

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?

I confess I am a bit lost with SCG's various model announcements but they said last year that they would be using the Nissan GT-R engine in the 004.

Road going SCG 003 uses the BMW 4.4 twin turbo V8 as used in the M5/M6/850/M8.
