.Glickenhaus feels it could have overcome a drive-through penalty and fought for victory in the Monza WEC race had it not suffered a dramatic turbo failure in the fourth 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 Brazilian handed over to Pla during the safety car, which was called after Henrique Chaves crashed heavily at the second chicane in the GTE Am TF Sport Aston Martin, but the Frenchman had to return to the pits because a drive-through cannot be taken under the safety car. 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.
