Luca Ciancetti, Glickenhaus Racing Team Principle and Podium Advanced Technologies Head of Road Cars and Motorsport: “ We all are extremely satisfied for being on the podium for the first time. The 007 LMH project, which started only in 2019, led us to conquer 4th and 5th places overall at legendary Le Mans 24 Hours in 2021. Our company has really been a pioneer: with the exception of Toyota, we have been the first to design a hypercar from scratch in the LMH category, now at its second season. We are deeply grateful for the opportunity to work with a manufacturer as Glickenhaus and with Jim himself: a real car passionate with a huge knowledge on car development: his inputs are always focused, his approach constructive and his support to the team always valuable. We are looking forward to racing in Spa-Francorchamps with the same strong team spirit we built together.”
