Scuderia Glickenhaus P4/5 Competizione

Jim how were these drivers chosen?

 

For their development and racing ability and their emotional stability.

Our new SCG Engine.

All important considerations, in your type of program.
...and hopefully, all about the same size.

That looks great, Jim!!!!

 

I need to dump this in my Mondial

 

how is this engine different than last years?

 

Higher Displacement, re engineered internals and valve train that rev higher, make more low rev torque, more HP, totally revised engine management, much more fuel efficient. Our goals are modest. We hope to run 15 seconds a lap faster than we did in our last 24 and 30 seconds a lap faster than we did in 2011.

We also hope to run our KERS at 2X the output we did in our last 24 and make it easier to control for the drivers at the most efficient places on the track. Our new KERS management program is IMHO the most sophisticated KERS race program ever developed specifically for the Ring based on massive telemetry we've collected over 2 years.

 

I'll bet that is a kick in the pants, when the KERS boosts in......

Interesting to experience behind the wheel, I'd imagine.

 

will the increased HP and CCs require more ballast?

 

No. We'll run at the same 2950LB that we did in the last 24.

 

S-w-e-e-t!

More power (& torque!) is *always* good!......

"If you can leave two black stripes from the exit of one corner to the entry of the next, then you have enough HP" - Mark Donohue.

"Horsepower sells engines, torque wins motor races" - Unattributed, but may be me......

+1

Seems I'm on a quoting binge;

"I think so KERS is simple. You push a button, you go faster." Kimi of course.

Cheers,

If those are your requirements, you should think about Alessandro Balzan, he's one of the best GT italian driver.

 

Impressive.
How much of the original engine is left?
Is it, in effect, still a Ferrari?

 

Part of the Block and the heads.

 

Thanks.
Is it a matter of cost that they've been retained or are they that much better?

 

The block is well made as are the heads.

If we get our LMP 1 or DP program going we won't be using
Ferrari Engines or any Ferrari components for that matter.

 

Thanks.

 

Would shared Pininfarina bodywork components from P4/5 and P4/5C(M) be used in an LMP1 or DP car or would those creations be completely new builds that manufacture newly designed bodywork to revolve around the P4/5 theme?

All the best,
Andrew.

 

Around the P4/5 theme.

Cheers

We would love to see you run a DP in Rolex. The new series will be wild!

 

Hopefully some Sponsors will too!

 

Nice feature Jimmy. I was cracking up at the picture of the long hair. How many years were you growing it? And land sakes it was curly. The things we do I our youth eh. Had me a long set locks when I was in my late teens.

 

Brilliant news re the engine there Jim. That block has a good amount of room inside to add more stroke and the heads flow well for it.
