Glickenhaus 007 LMH - designed and built by Podium Advanced Technologies - in first place for the first three hours of the race at the 6 Hours of Monza plus a pole position

Monza, 10 July 2022 - After the 3rd and 4th places overall at legendary Le Mans 24 Hours, Glickenhaus 007 LMH No. 708 - designed and built by Podium Advanced Technologies - has been at the front of the field after almost three hours of the 6 Hours of Monza. Pilots Romain Dumas and then Luis Felipe Derani ensure the 007 LMH has a strong 45-second lead over the No.36 Alpine, losing the lead after safety car period when the team takes penalty for full course yellow speed infringement. Then Olivier Pla takes over cockpit but then slows with a turbo failure, pits and retires from the race. Furthermore, the 007 LMH on race signed the best lap overall with a total time of 1:36.589 in the fourth lap. The day before, Romain Dumas took Glickenhaus’ second pole position of the season after a sensational lap closed at 1:35.416, crushing the opposition by almost a second. After Le Mans and Monza the performances of the 007 LMH and the ability of the pilots are under everyone’s eyes. Luca Ciancetti, Glickenhaus Racing Team Principle and Podium Advanced Technologies Head of Road cars and Motorsport Business Line: “We were thrilled to see our car in first place for such a long time, with a safe distance from the others behind us. It never happened before. When unexpectedly the turbo failed, well, that’s racing, there is nothing you can do. But there will be soon new challenges for us. As always, we are deeply grateful for the opportunity to work with Jim Glickenhaus: he is always great to everyone in the team, having a strong team spirit.”
