I think in clear traffic, most of the lmp1s can run 3:20 flats or 3:19s even. ByKolles and Ginetta will most likely bring up the rear imo. I think Rebellion can make ways into Toyota by pushing them. We saw during practice and qualifying that they can be pinged for fuel consumption.

They're really going to have to watch that, if they're not going to just hand it to Toyota. I expect the Toyotas to run conservatively in the race, they don't need to do anything else. The Rebs can't afford any silly errors (by drivers or the team) if they are to hope for a good result.

Apparently, Toyota can't just 'take it easy' and cruise. That would be detrimental to their car according to Vasselon. So if the privateers want to have a chance they need to be on it too. It'll be an interesting race in anyway imo. I hope Rebellion and the others really make it interesting though.

And we believe the 'master' of disinformation? Not me.

But I agree with you. If enough cars remain reliable and Toyota slips at all, we're potentially in for a very interesting race.

With the torque from the hybrid system, I expect the gap to grow in traffic like it did at Spa. The Toyota can nip past cars much quicker than the non-hybrids can. We seen something similar in IMSA when they balanced DPs and LMP2s on lap time. They could generate similar lap times, but come race day and the DPs were miles ahead because they had more torque to deal with the traffic.

Not a complaint, as I love the hybrid torque, but don't be surprised if the gap opens up when they hit traffic. The hybrids have an absolutely brutal ability when dealing with.

Could happen, but they are limited to 8mj per lap. The best way to make lap time is accelerating on the long straights like dragsters. If they have to use the hybrid to pass traffic it'll compromise them on other parts of the lap. This track is nearly twice as long as Spa but they only have 2mj more here. If you take Spa's length to hybrid power available and applied it to Le Mans, they'd have something around 12mj of hybrid. That's where I think the non-hybrids can actually do something. They're limited on fuel usage too, but not nearly as much as Toyota is. I envision it that way at least, but who knows. At least we won't until tomorrow!

I just read on DSC that the #3 Rebellion toasted its gearbox on the last lap but still managed to finish third.

Here is the Rebellion R13 in it's high downforce package.

I wonder how they managed to get around the "two aerodynamic devices per front corner" rule. I can see two dive-planes and a turning vane.
Anyway, considering through the Porsche Curves the lower downforce version managed 280+ km/h, Copse, Maggots-Becketts and Stowe will be simply ridiculous this weekend.

[I say lower and not low downforce because the Le Mans kit was too downforce-heavy. Seemed to me to be more of a Spa-type kit. Medium downforce, if you will.]

Look at the hole in the bodywork next to the engine cover. Wonder if that's for cooling?

Do you mean the one on the top of the side-pod? If so, that's been there since the first renders.
Cooling would be a good guess as there are radiators in the vicinity, plus the engine is making more power and therefore more heat than the LMP2 lump so has different coolinh needs.

Yup, you're right. I looked back at pics from Le Mans and Spa and they were there.

All aero studies on computed simulation seem to lead to the same shape.

The only thing it's missing is the old awesome liveries (2010-2011 and the one in my avatar). But it's alright now and I guess fits the zebra theme

Hopefully they’ll change it to white with some red and black.

Let’s hope they get a little more speed and it comes with bullet proof reliability. No LMP1 privateer has cracked that for some time.

***Matmut has joined Rebellion Racing as an official partner for the remainder of the 2018-19 season and “until 2020”. The French car insurance brand also supports Signatech Alpine’s LMP2 entry.
***As part of its new deal, Matmut will open a competition to give one lucky fan the chance to join the Rebellion team for a behind-the-scenes experience at this year’s 24 Hours of Le Mans. Details will be announced on Matmut’s social media channels soon.
I also read somewhere they've confirmed their entry to next season, but I forgot where. Good news though!

Well what other series could they go to? Certainly though they have done well in this series by being the leading privateer, so hopefully they can make others raise their game too.

Good to see Matmut saved Rebellion's life for now as TVR didn't. The worst type of crying wasn't the kind everyone could see.
