brake by wire is nothing really innovative or exotic anymore...
in a "normal" brake system, hydraulics are directly operated by brake pedal, in bbw there is a power sensor that detects brake pedal travel and according to that, hydraulics are electronically managed to deliver every time the best braking power.
It's used mainly in hybrid and electric racing and road cars because the system manages braking and energy recover at the same time, but bbw is found also on conventional road cars... corvette c8 is equipped with bbw.

We have done everything within the rules to make our car as fast as they can be.
ABS is not allowed.
BBW is and enables better braking.
We don't sand bag.
The FIA has the tools to balance performance.
We believe that there will be a fair BOP and that the 200,000,000 fans who
followed us this year will see races where we have a fair chance to win.

Simple. Thanks for the insight!

200,000,000. Yeah, right.

S griffin · 28 Dec 2021, 10:32 (Ref:4091525)

Nice to hear from you again Jim. We'll be behind you again this coming season. Just hope you can get some reasonable success at the very least

So much more to take from that post.

Jim being up for the next season being the actual take away.

Good luck next year Jim. I wore my T-Shirt on Christmas Day.

Thanks.
We're just about done with our Aug 2021 (month of Le Mans) media/social/TV audit which we're showing to potential 2022 sponsors. (One of whom is an F1 Sponsor who may switch to us)
200,000,000 yearly audience reach is wildly wrong. It was a guess. A poor one. Our August only reach was actually MUCH higher than my yearly guess. Our August AVE (Add value equivalency) was 652.1M$. Any sponsors looking for that type of exposure. Drop me an email.
As for the rest of it.
We're doing our bit.
We think the FIA will too and we look forward to fair, balanced and exciting racing.

Total August AVE was 652.1 M $ (M=mm)
Total August audience reach was 26.7 B

Amazing that one can reach more than three times the entire global population in just one month.

True, but silly agency exposure/revenue claims help no one.

This is good news.

Braking was a problem for the car last year. It was encouraging that the braking problems seemed to be less at Le Mans than before.

I guess that the brake by wire advantage is that it allows a way of ”tuning” the brakes?

canaglia · 29 Dec 2021, 20:57 (Ref:4091704)

I'm sure bbw gives a more comfortable life to drivers since in normal condition they need to adapt braking to different conditions... there is a big difference about car handling from driving a >1200kg heavy car after refuel with fresh tyres to a lighter car but worn tyres... bbw should help to deploy the best braking power anyhow despite different situations. Guess also that a little advantage of 007 compared to gr010 is that 007 bbw will have to only manage braking unlike gr010 involved also in energy recover process.

I do not think that we are talking people here, but more deep marketing values, such as potential buying power of the audience that you reach.

This was the thinking of Bernie Ecclestone in F1. Better have fewer spectators with heavy wallets than a large poor crowd.
In that way you look at who is watching you, what is there buying power and how many of them. That way you can go to your sponsors and say, we can expose your brand to 652M $ of buying power.
This is much more saying to a marketing department than we have 200.000 spectators - but are they able to buy your products, we do not know.

Other than Pla, who do we think are the full season crew for Glickenhaus and who for Le Mans?

I'd guess Briscoe will still be there. I honestly can't remember if Derani has a different drive for Le Mans or not. I'd keep him if possible. Beyond that I think it will depend on who has factory drives tied up.

**Adam43** · 1 Feb 2022, 18:16 (Ref:4097000)

Probably Dumas, Pla and Derani. Not confirmed until they know about Le Mans.

Quote:

Luca Ciancetti, who manages the Glickenhaus WEC programme from Podium Advanced Technologies in Italy, told Autosport that "Romain and Oli will probably do the full season".

But he stressed that the final driver line-up will not be determined until Glickenhaus finds out whether its second car has been accepted for the Le Mans 24 Hours in June.

"Nothing is 100 percent decided and won't be until we see the Le Mans entry list," said Ciancetti.

"All we can say for sure is that we have kept six of our drivers from last year, the ones who drove at Le Mans."

Ciancetti explained that it is likely Pipo Derani, who will be racing for the Action Express Cadillac team in the IMSA race over the Sebring weekend, will come into #708 alongside Dumas and Pla for the Spa WEC round in early May.

Glickenhaus Instagram: In honor of Luigi Chinetti who started me on the road to Le Mans. As discussed with Jacqueline & Luigi Chinetti, Glickenhaus Racing will put N.A.R.T stickers on 708 and 709 with the above explanation.

seanyb505 · 22 Feb 2022, 18:02 (Ref:4099765)

Luigi probably bought a shirt and just wants to make sure the sticker is actually on the car this year.

/Friendly jest

S griffin · 23 Feb 2022, 10:43 (Ref:4099860)

Very nice to see Luigi honoured. Really great sense of history from Glick. Really hope they get some results this year

Ferrari333SP · 8 Mar 2022, 14:05 (Ref:4101610)

Looks like we may get a 3rd Glickenhaus for LeMans:

Hope Jim can pull it off!

**joeb** · 8 Mar 2022, 16:22 (Ref:4101624)

It would be really cool to see somebody take him up on the offer. I have no clue who could be interested and have the money for this. I mean if somebody wanted to run in Hypercar, they could have approached Glick months ago about buying a chassis. Now somebody has only 48 hours to decide to do Le Mans? that is a short window to try and put together the budget. Although the factory running the car for you probably does help that situation a bit.

S griffin · 8 Mar 2022, 16:45 (Ref:4101626)

Fingers crossed he can get it sorted. Of course it depends which drivers are available and who can afford it. It would be good either way if we see the car running.

I'm assuming the budget won't be the issue, logistics and such very much so.

I would be in favor of seeing a 2nd full time WEC entry as condition for a 3rd Glickenhaus car/entry @ LM.

I'll just be very happy to see a third Glick at LM.
