REBELLION Racing starts the season at the 4 Hours of Silverstone

The promising performances achieved at the Barcelona Prologue last July announce a great battle in the LMP1 category. By entering two REBELLION R-13 cars for this first round, the Team is demonstrating its desire to enter both cars on each 2019-2020 season rounds.
The liveries unveiled at Silverstone will be provisional. The final version will be presented at the second round of the World Endurance Championship next October in Fuji (Japan).

Line Ups
R-13 N. 1: Bruno Senna, Gustavo Menezes, Norman Nato
R-13 N. 3: Nathanaël Berthon, Loïc Duval, Pipo Derani

See you on Friday, August 30th for the first free practice session!
“This weekend we will line up two very high level crews to fight for the win at Silverstone. We won this race last season and the whole Team is more than motivated to do it on more time. Both cars are provisional and the Team REBELLION Racing will be proud to present the final livery at the Fuji round next October.”

Alexandre Pesci, President and Owner of REBELLION Racing

Bruno Senna, R-13 N. 1 driver
“Really excited to be back with the Team this year. We come back with an extremely strong line up. I am really happy to get Bruno (Senna) and Norman (Nato) as teammates. We will work very hard to close the gap between us and Toyota. Hopefully be pushing them immediately. Going into the 2019-2020 season and looking to just keep building momentum and see what we can hand up.”

Gustavo Menezes, R-13 N. 1 driver
“Very happy to start the adventure with REBELLION Racing! Everything went very quickly for me between the discovery of the LMP1 category and the first race. Looking forward to being at Silverstone to start the championship, like many drivers it is a circuit that I particularly like. We will keep on working all week long with the Team and I am glad to have two very experienced teammates by my side!”

Norman Nato, R-13 N. 1 driver
“A very good summer mix with a good break and keeping fit. I cannot wait to be back in the car for the next race in Silverstone; I know both my teammates, top pros, this will be a very quick line up! Proud to be with Team REBELLION, let’s get the job done !”

Nathanaël Berthon, R-13 N. 3 driver
“I’m very excited to be back in WEC and to race for REBELLION in the beginning of the new 2019-20 season. I’ve had great success in Silverstone in the past so I can’t wait to drive a LMP1 car around this amazing and fast race track.”

Pipo Derani, R-13 N. 3 driver
“Very happy to be back in LMP1 with Team REBELLION Racing! My previous one was in Bahrain in 2016 with Audi before stopping their program. This new challenge is exciting. I know a little Nathanael (Berthon) and Pipo (Derani), I am delighted to team up with them! While the entry is late but I am sure that with the expertise of REBELLION, we will be able to be competitive at Silverstone. It’s been a long time since I drove it, I’m very happy to finally be back on an LMP1 car in FIA WEC! The Barcelona Prologue showed good performances that look promising for the championship.”
