Rebellion Racing
Rebellion to have an 'iconic' paint scheme this season according to Dagys.
Any ideas? Surely not Gulf...

Black & Gold according to John Dagys... as in Lotus colors.
Maybe they´re running Lotus-badged Toyota engines

Rebellion already had an iconic livery, their red, white and gold has been unmissable for the last two years.
Sick of all these fake Lotai, at least a rebadged Toyota engine is in keeping with the Elise's heritage......

They won't be rebadging the engines.

Completely agree. Might have been the best looking cars out there.
I want to hear some more details before laying into Lotus. A twitter exchange between our friend JAG and GG revealed they aren't bringing budget, facilities, engineers or responsible for Heidfeld's arrival.
Don't know what to think really.

Maybe it's tied in with Lotus badge-engineering a Rebellion timepiece instead?! Wish they weren't ditching the red, white and gold - a unique and attractive livery. The JPS black and gold was too, but now it's wearing out its welcome remarkably quickly. Thanks Dany Behar.

Providing it turns out to be true, this is a shame. The red/white/gold was pretty distinct amongst other runners in the field.
Idle speculation - perhaps they're trying to differentiate themselves (visually) from Toyota?

Rebellion Racing 2012 (and beyond)
Our discussions on Rebellion's activities have become rather diluted and spread over a number of threads. As a firm fan's favourite, I'm starting a dedicated thread. I'll move the initial 'Lotus' speculation posts across to get things started.

I am not that bothered about the paint colour but this team has been good to us on ten=tenths and we all wish them the best, getting funding for this level of racing can't be easy and i for one will support them what ever they look like

I love the current colour scheme however I also believe that the old JPS colours were the best I've ever seen on a race car. Perhaps I'm more easily pleased than most......
