The Glickenhaus Racing team, a notable presence in WEC with its Le Mans Hypercar, has announced its withdrawal from the championship in 2024.

The second car from Ferrari’s one-off engineering team is finally ready for the streets — the P540 Superfast Aperta, created exclusively for customer John Walson.
