for me the Gibson is the risky option by far, the fuel consumption and torque curve will be poor compared to the turbo engines......it will be a similar situation to when they ran the Toyota V8 NA engine......just a simple and easy option to install, but un-competitive on the track in comparison to the competition.
I would therefore suspect the Judd 5.5 V10 would be a well proven and reliable option, although the V10 does need a DI conversion.......I just dont see Rebellion teaming up with AER again, but perhaps I am wrong.

I think Rebellion will go with Zytek, for the same reason Dragonspeed went for it with the BR... reliability will probably be more important in this first year than speed.
It might lack against the other engines, but if they indeed go with Oreca and it's anything like the previous three chassis, the design probably will supplement the power deficit
Anyway I still HOPE they pick Judd
