From Press release
Swiss team REBELLION Racing announces a new LMP1 car for 2014 developed and built by ORECA: the new car will be christened the REBELLION R-ONE.
REBELLION Racing have expressed many times their desire to continue to compete in LMP1, the premier class of endurance racing in the FIA World Endurance Championship.
With Endurance racing beginning a new chapter in its history in 2014 with the introduction of fresh regulations and a new technological approach, the Swiss team had to make a decision regarding their strategy for the coming seasons and the choice of the race cars to be run.
REBELLION Racing have chosen ORECA to design, develop and build the REBELLION R-ONE as ORECA shares common values with the Swiss team and they have become a reference manufacturer of LMP cars with high expertise and know-how.
The study of the REBELLION R-ONE LMP1 that will be designed from scratch, started several weeks ago. Extending a highly successful partnership with TOYOTA Motorsport GmbH (TMG), which began in October 2010, the REBELLION R-ONE will be powered by a TOYOTA engine.
Final specification of the updated TOYOTA RV8KLM engine, which will power the REBELLION R-ONE will be confirmed at a later date.
REBELLION Racing is currently leading the 2013 FIA Endurance LMP1 Trophy for Private Teams classification.
