Rebellion Racing even stronger in 2013?

Rebellion Racing had a superb season in WEC by winning the LMP1 Trophy for private teams after winning six of the eight events contested, including the 24 Hours of Le Mans. Mais le manque de visibilité face aux constructeurs Audi et Toyota a poussé l’écurie helvétique à se diriger vers l’ALMS où elle peut viser la victoire au général. Après s’être imposé à Petit Le Mans, le team suisse engagera à plein temps une Lola B12/60 Toyota dans la discipline américaine, avec une seconde LMP1 en renfort pour les 12 Heures de Sebring. Mathias Beche a également été confirmé par Rebellion. Le Suisse s’est illustré avec TDS Racing en remportant l’ELMS this season and by taking second place in the category at the 24 Hours of Le Mans.

The objectives will therefore be revised upwards for next year, Rebellion Racing being able this time to secure a title in the ALMS peloton. However, the WEC is not ruled out and the Swiss team's final program will soon be revealed. “2012 was the most demanding but also the most successful season in the history of Rebellion Racing”, underlines Bart Hayden, the Team Manager of Rebellion Racing. “We want to continue our progress in 2013 by building on the results obtained with the objective of achieving overall victories. The visibility brought by such successes is more in line with the desires of our partners. The WEC is a World Championship and we would also like to continue participating in it. We will do our best to complete a program in parallel with our presence in ALMS. We are a team that has grown in the spirit of Le Mans since our involvement in GT in the early 2000s and we want to continue racing in disciplines that mix the best professional prototypes and GT teams. I would be particularly pleased if we manage to have cars entered in the ALMS and WEC in 2013.”
