Glickenhaus reckons it could have come back from its FIAWEC penalty at Monza to win, before turbo failure ⬇️
Technical director Luca Ciancetti suggested that the pace of the Glickenhaus 007 LMH shared by Romain Dumas, Pipo Derani and Olivier Pla would have brought it back into contention over the second half of the six-hour race after it lost of a lead of more than 50s late in the third hour.
Dumas and then Derani were able to build up a lead of 52s in the space of the two and half hours on a day that the qualifying speed of the car was fully converted into race pace.The team then had to take a drive-through penalty picked up by Derani at the end of second hour for exceeding the 80km/h maximum speed during a Full Course Yellow virtual safety car.
Five laps after Pla took the penalty, smoke started pouring from the right-side exhaust of the Pipo V8 twin-turbo engine and the car retired. Ciancetti explained that the team suspected turbo failure, but couldn’t be more specific ahead of a proper analysis. He ruled out the 13kW or 17-18bhp increase in maximum power for the Glickenhaus at Monza under the Balance of Performance being a factor in the engine problem.
