SCG 007 (Glickenhaus Hypercar) Part1 - Aero

Let's have a closer look at what we know of the SCG 007 so far.
In part 1 we will analyse the aerodynamic concept and the cooling system of the new Hypercar.
How do you like the Glickenhaus car?

"centre seating position" Already my favourite team.

[@ReXzz]

Check out their IG, they literally post very single part of the car there + they announced that they want to livestream the final building process of their car!

[@arjun._.bbC6]

@@ReXzz when's the livestream?

[@ReXzz]

@@arjun._.bbC6 I don’t know that, they didn’t announce a date yet, but I really wanna see it too!😍😍

[@lars_hbm]

since when is this allowed? i remember the lmp regulations included, that the sitted driver must not cross the center line of the car

[@relaksz6183]

When they announced their participation, I took it as a joke. No one was talking about them and forgetting them... who are they compared to Toyota or (at the time) Aston Martin, right? But here they are, with a cheap but innovative race car that presents interesting solutions both in term of performance and cost cutting. I'm not expecting them to be on the same level at Toyota, but boy you have to admire the dedication these guys have put in their project!

[@BSport320]

Definitely, really great to see!

[@admkbldwn]

their technical partnership with Joest Racing and driver lineup have really caught my eye -- even if they aren't super competitive their first season, Joest knows exactly how to find more performance in a car, and their drivers certainly have the race winning experience that can help guide that development. this is going to be a really great team to watch.

[@replynotificationsdisabled]

It may have to be a production, right?

[@FirstLast-tx3yj]

@@BSport320 did you say "Line radiator? Is the new radiators that F1 uses? Did I hear correctly "line"

[@garrettcox7329]

M lmk I M🤣👷‍♀️

[@IvoTrausch]

This is why you have to love SCG. No corporate backing, no financial viability discussion, no consideration for brand image, just building a racecar because you want to. Or to quote Jim Glickenhaus (on the SCG003 back in the day): "I do this because I can afford it and I like racing. There is no higher motive than that other than my own enthusiasm. After all, if you had the money, wouldn't you do the same?"

[@jmirsp4z]

this video was just shared in FB by James Glickenhaus himself..

[@luisparsons3981]

this one Looks the best out of the three lemans hypercars imo

[@tonybucca5667]

Wait until you see the Ferrari!

[@bertpretorius973]

Beautiful car. Endurance racing needs more of these and less Toyota styles

[@litreocola6447]

I like the variety honestly

[@alessiobonamini1792]

Honestly, as beautiful and classy the Glickenhaus is, you can't blame Toyota for choosing the more performance-based design, because after all teams don't compete to build the most beautiful car, but the fastest

[@devandrasimanjuntak1646]

@@alessiobonamini1792 adding to that, as mentioned in the video, the reason that the Glickenhaus looks like that is because they are budget limited. Had that not been the case, the car would have been similar in design to Toyota as it is more effective.

[@megatechbody3207]

Toyota less? How about Audi or Porsche? It needs more constructors, always.

[@jamesglickenhaus.2311]

As the aero is limited by rules going beyond them is wasted. The final design is different from the renders and wind tunnel model in your video. The driver is not center seat as the rules don't allow it. The passenger seat is the minimum allowed and the driver is pushed as close to the center as allowed. We are ready to livestream the final assembly IF we can conform to Italian law on work place cameras. Many of your assumptions are wrong but besides that...

[@BSport320]

Thanks for commenting here! In that case I’m looking forward to see the final design and more detailed pictures. Congratulations on that project already and good luck!

[@robertn2951]

I congratulate you on this incredible endeavour! What kind of investment does it take to go from an idea to seeing the car on the track? I hope you have great success, it is beautiful seeing a new team going against mammoths like Toyota and VW Group.

[@JG-dx5wi]

Have they required you to use the Big Honking Holes? I was surprised to see them on the Toyota. Hopefully not.

[@alfarosiarsita]

This is closest thing to an hypercars we to think back in the announcement before

[@andredeketeleastutecomplex]

[@mohammednawfalal-damluji686]

Thank you for the detailed explanation 🙂 It's interesting and technical. I may watch the video one more time to grasp the information better, and I'll share this video with other sportscar racing fans that I know online. Looking forward to the second part 👍

[@BSport320]

awsome! cant wait for the 2nd part :D

[@BSport320]

Working on it!

[@S.AlienLife]

Good analysis. For sure I am hoping for a lot of diversity in sports prototype racing in the next few years.

[@rockerxXc]

This thing looks like a Valkyrie with a massive rear wing.

[@allensaunders449]

Looking forward to seeing the car

[@gustavoracing1736]

I can't wait to see this on action !

[@unPaulparmistantdautres]

Awesome video ! The lasts pictures posted by the SCG shows the air box with naca air ducts on the side... And on twitter, he answered a guy who was asking what was the use of that by "Very interesting engineering. Multi PSI inlets and functions..." Can't wait to see what it will be used for ! Imo it as something to do with the two air intakes that are still not used... And maybe the intercooler ! Who knows ? 😁 Btw about the big nose, if I remember correctly, Jim Glicknaus said that the car will be available for customer teams, witch will be able to use a different engine and an hybrid system if they want to... So that's why there is a big nose ! To let potential buyers add a hybrid system 😉

[@BSport320]

Thank you very much! I read and saw that too and think the NACA ducts are for clutch cooling. There wouldn't be enough air for intercoolers. I am working on the next part where I will talk about this in more detail.

[@unPaulparmistantdautres]

@@BSport320 Great ! Can't wait 😁

[@johngreen8693]

Thanks, a really interesting and useful piece. A response from Glickenhaus as well! If I won the Euromillions I would definitely throw some sponsorship their way!

[@Niko-rf9or]

wow you're making incredible content, I think you'll be the new Kyle Hill pretty soon lol. I'm designing an aero car that may or not ever exist, but your videos are very informative :)

[@BSport320]

Thanks!

[@MartlRS]

Yeah cool!

[@as8music]

Darauf hab ich gewartet:)

[@THEBOZZ-zt1zn]

It has an Air to water intercooler, so the radiator in the one sinde is used for engine vooling, and the other side is for coolinh the intercooler water, and these things dont have to be big, they could also intercool it by using the air conditioning to cool the compressed air, as the dodge demon does it

[@teabagmcpick889]

It's very pretty.

[@PebelWasTaken]

I love this channel.

[@BSport320]

Thanks! More to come!

[@Jarlefinken]

Great analysis:) Concerning the radiators. Did I understand it correctly that the smaller inlet feeding the larger radiator was more efficient than the larger inlet feeding the smaller radiator?

[@BSport320]

Yes, you have less losses if the air moves slower through the radiator

[@johndin100]

Is a center seat legal? I thought there had to be room for two?

[@martinfreund6737]

3:08 Didn't know that F1 cars had radiator bans. I thought that they were banned since they could be considered a movable aero device.

[@BSport320]

I think the picture shows one of their show cars they are running at events

[@aryabhirukusumawardana2039]

Awesome Video!!

[@BSport320]

Thanks!

[@gtxforza]

This reminds me of something from Ridge Racer.

[@Pandamasque]

Could one or both of the 2 additional roof inlets be for the intercooler?

[@jamesglickenhaus.2311]

No. The various opening bring air to a lot of different places at different velocities and pressure.

[@DaewooAirfryer]

Love the vid

[@BSport320]

Thanks!

[@bernardibrahim]

Any update you can report? Ive been waiting for more. Also, how much weight typically paint/ graphics add to a bare carbon car?

[@BSport320]

I might bring an update once there are news from the test in Aragon. As for the paint it depends on the car (prototype or formula car) and if the car gets painted or wrapped. In F1 it's around 1.5kg.

[@tylerdurden4006]

This is just LMP1 but with less restrictive rules so teams can spend less on the car...does that really sound better though? Maybe a lot of non-crash related retirements this year?

[@douglaskirk5636]

YES . . .

[@andreasskatteboe131]

Isn't the intercooler on top of the engine like subaru has? With the roofscoop as intake. 5:42

[@sebo8872]

Subbed

[@BSport320]

Thank you very much!

[@ZaGaijinSmash]

I'll believe it when I see it with this car. Has anyone seen any real pictures of this yet?

[@dggerzz_8850]

Will Glickenhaus race at Le Mans this year?

[@Maenfy]

Yes

[@barryvanderdong]

Why is it still allowed to drive a non hybrid hypercar?

[@BSport320]

Because they want more teams participating.

[@jessechen998]

Water to air intercooler?

[@BSport320]

Thought so too, but where? That would be another water circuit due to the lower temperature and I cannot see anything of it. Maybe we will soon see more pictures of the assembly.

[@oldfrend]

will these be coming to the big IMSA races as well? would love to see them riding the bumps at sebring.

[@CrSnds]

Well a bit of good news the FIA WEC just allowed LMDh prototypes to race next year. So I think there's a good chance the LM Hypercars will be allowed to race here in IMSA.

ByKolles announced that they are not going to build an LMH car

[@BSport320]

In german news Colin Kolles said they are building the car and will test it in February but won't race this year in LMH because of some argument with ACO.

[@csonkaperdido]

@@BSport320 OK good! I am American, but my family is German, (Oma is from Leipzig... Opa is from Heidenheim) so I was always a supporter of the Kolles cars and team. Here in America the last news I heard was that ByKolles had canceled their plans because of Covid... I am glad to hear that they are not going to quit! I just hope the car is better than that Nissan/Enso LMP1 car... The LMP1 car that was slower than the LMP2 cars. That car sucked, I sure hoped one day Colin can win Le Mans. I was very hopeful when he got the Audi R10 cars after Audi began racing the R15. The Kolles cars are always some of the best looking cars, I love the neon green and gray livery... Some people hate it, but that makes me like it more. I am so glad to hear that there will be a ByKolles car in WEC. I go to the Daytona 24 hours and Sebring 12 hours almost every year because I am in Florida. I am so excited to see the LMH cars and LMDh cars battle in the 2023 racing season... I am also so happy that Audi and Porsche are returning to the top class and will be allowed to race at Daytona and Sebring. I am one of the people who think the ACO has made some TERRIBLE decisions in the past, and they made the 24 hrs of Le Mans a joke ever since Porsche left the WEC. The ACO just made it impossible for any car besides Toyota to win. I still do not think of the 3 Toyota victories as legitimate victories. They had no competition. If Bayern Munich only ever had matches against FC Heidenheim, of course Bayern would always win. I just found your channel, and it is awesome! Somehow you find details, photos and CAD drawings that offer would have never been able to find! Awesome channel!
