Glickenhaus will not return to WEC in 2024 with Le Mans Hypercar
Team founder Jim Glickenhaus has announced that his team will not be entering the World Endurance Championship next year. He stated that in order to be competitive, they would need to develop an updated version of their car and run two of them, which is not feasible for a privateer team without sponsorship. Glickenhaus emphasized that the priority for his company, Scuderia Cameron Glickenhaus, is now focused on manufacturing road-going vehicles. However, he did mention the possibility of returning to the Nurburgring-Nordschleife for an endurance race with their SCG 004C. Glickenhaus expressed pride in the team’s accomplishments, including a podium finish at Le Mans in 2022, and stated that they were an important part of the championship. The Glickenhaus team has had success in the WEC, with two podium finishes, two pole positions, and a strong performance at Monza last year before a mechanical failure. Additionally, Indy 500 champion Josef Newgarden expressed his interest in racing at Le Mans in the future.
