I'll give it a go! I once did the R8 Croc on an R10.

As I said in the race thread, these at least are unlikely to be confused for anything else out there.

They certainly take some getting used to in the flesh, but they're very different!

I think it works better in the black background than white. But should be interesting to see in track and at night

I can't see the sponsor's logos in these psychedelic liveries.

dohhh that looks very bad. Maybe it's a creative livery, but I don't like to see it on a track.

I actually hope that they keep it for the next WEC season, maybe if in a less extreme form.

I wouldn't bank on seeing any.... Sadly it made ours redundant to a degree.....

You go to all that effort and then, oh well perhaps Rebellion will have a merchantising stand, you might pick up one of their watches, not really my taste but they cost more than an arm and a leg.

Seems like Rebellion will be down a few drivers next season, looks like Jani is switching to Formula E full time instead of both. But he is driving for Porsche so probably not a bad choice to make honestly. Dagys also thinking aloud about Lotterer may make the same choice. Of course all these should be taken with the S365 grain(s?) of salt.

I believe Jani said he'd choose a factory drive in any series, because you don't turn them down. With FE teams flooding money at simulators, the drivers "off" weekends are taken up too.
Laurent off to Toyota to sit in the pits and watch. I wouldn't mind seeing DHH back in a Prototype - he was fantastic in the LMP2 Oreca. |

In DSC's LMP1 preview it states that:

Updated page shows: It will be looking to repeat that feat at the very least this time out and to achieve it they field new low-downforce aero, a mildly upgraded Gibson GL 458 (some 20bhp up on the units fielded by DragonSpeed and ByKolles) and its usual stellar driver line-ups. It’s R-13s won’t be hard to spot ether, as both are running in (bright) new colours (above). |

Anyway, have Rebellion some kind of exclusiveness with Gibson? |

Or they were the only ones to pony up the cash for the new engine? Bykolles is just getting the engine in and testing and Dragonspeed is on the way out. If I was Gibson I'd want it in the Rebellion over the other options as well.

Hope it's reliable in addition to being more powerful. Last thing I want to see is potential going boom.

Not looking good for Rebellion, let's hope they are right when they say their engine problems have been sorted

What a major disappointment yet again by Rebellion. All the ingredients are there, but it just doesn't work. IMSA, LMP2, LMP1 etc...

Seems a bit harsh. They were third at Le Mans last year and they're best non-factory team in the WEC Standings this year (and I think every year they've entered P1). 2017 they were LMP2 WEC Champions. Won Petit Le Mans twice. Seems it does work quite a bit.
