Why outgoing modern day Le Mans ‘garagiste’ Glickenhaus deserves to be celebrated
celebrated a historic win, had it not been for an unfortunate mechanical issue. Despite these impressive accomplishments, Glickenhaus has decided to step away from the World Endurance Championship and the Hypercar class. As a garagiste, Glickenhaus embodied the spirit of independent racing teams, building their own machinery and challenging the dominance of big manufacturers. Their success at Le Mans, including a podium finish in 2022, should be admired and respected, regardless of the competition they faced. Although not everyone recognizes the term “garagiste” as a badge of honor, for the British, it carries a sense of celebration and admiration for those who strive against the odds. Glickenhaus’ legacy will forever be a testament to the enduring passion and determination of privateer teams in the world of endurance racing.
