Rebellion to skip The Glen

Rebellion Oreca 07

Rebellion Racing will skip next month’s Sahlen’s Six Hours of The Glen due to post-Le Mans logistics.

Team manager Bart Hayden confirmed to Sportscar365 that the team will not take part in the third round of the Tequila Patron North American Endurance Cup as originally planned, due to a later-than-expected delivery of its third Oreca 07 Gibson LMP2 car.

Rebellion’s two season-long FIA World Endurance Championship entries will be taking part in the French endurance classic next weekend, leaving little turnaround time to prepare for a trip to New York.

"The main reason was because of too little time to turn the car and equipment around after the Le Mans 24 Hour race event," Hayden told Sportscar365.

"We were later in receiving our third car than we had originally [predicted], so we had too much to do in too short a space of time to make it to the Watkins Glen event."
