Bart Hayden, Team manager
“Since the last race which was at Le Mans, there has been a change in the Equivalence of Technology parameters which mean the REBELLION Racing R-13 LMP1 cars will have more performance at Silverstone. We also have some higher downforce aero components on our cars, so we are expecting to be competitive at the front of the race. It’s been a long time since Le Mans, so we are glad to be back racing again.”
