But just think of the publicity - having both Simon and me in your garage!

I'm just hoping they can run in IMSA and get to come to Petit. With the ACO balance that will have to come with the falling hypercar numbers, IMSA has to be smart and allow them as well. Hell make it just enduros and I think you could see Toyota pursue adding a few new trophies to the shelf, and hopefully SCG come along to deny them the wins and earn their own trophies on home soil

What was the V6 engine shared a couple of weeks ago? Mechachrome hot V to make a WEC return? Their F2 engine supply appeared to improve over last season...

Hi
Test going well. 004C is very good in the rain. You can really see the aero work as the rain shows the flow. |

Hi
More information soon but in the meantime a hint on our Glickenhaus 007 Hypercar engine. Derived from a very successful WRC Turbo 4. 3.8L Flat Crank TT V8 making 870 HP at the crank. Best Jim |

It's the real designer and engine manufacturer that others have branded as their own. In over sixteen years, more than 250 cars with their engines have finished on the podium of the World Rally Championship with sixty victories
5 WRC manufacturer titles ... On our Le Mans 007 Hypercar their name will be on the engine. |

Wow, didn't see that one coming!
You say it'll have Pipo Moteurs branding, but what is the donor V8... assuming it's not an all new design? Great choice, Jim! 😁 |

Yep, he as much as said so in a previous post (derived from etc.).
As an Alfa 'nut' I was disappointed the V6 had been ditched, but suspect this is a very much better solution for endurance racing... and should sound better. 😉 |

Nice! Can't wait to hear it. 3.8L is a 'small' V8. I guess it doesn't matter much about the size in terms of weight since the rules want them to be over 200kg or something crazy.
