Rebellion Racing aiming for LMP1 with super-strong line up

2017 LMP2 Champions, Rebellion Racing, are aiming to return to the FIA World Endurance Championship for the Super Season in the LMP1 category, just one year after leaving it.

The Swiss team will apply for entry for two cars which will be in the hands of some well-known WEC faces who combine to form an impressively talented driver line up.

2017 LMP2 Driver Champion Bruno Senna (BR) and Rebellion regular Mathias Beche (CH) return to the team and will be joined by Neel Jani (CH) who started his endurance career with the team nine years ago, and former FIA WEC champion and Le Mans winner André Lotterer (DE).  

After making his debut for Rebellion at Petit Le Mans in the USA in October this year, Gustavo Menezes (US) is also announced as part of the crew for the 2018-2019 Super Season.

WEC 2017 Rookie of the year Thomas Laurent (FR) will bring his energy and youth to the experienced line up following an amazing first season in the WEC with Jackie Chan DC Racing.

No details have yet been revealed about the cars Rebellion Racing propose to compete with, which will be revealed at the Geneva International Motor Show in March.
