Swiss racing team Rebellion Racing is returning to North America after a three-year hiatus to compete in the IMSA WeatherTech Sportscar Championship’s Tequila Patrón North American Endurance Cup mini-series in 2017.
Rebellion will bring a single Oreca 07-Gibson and an all-star team of drivers to contest the four-race series, which features 52 hours of racing on some of North America’s most famous race tracks. The NAEC starts with the Rolex 24 at Daytona in January, moves on to Sebring for the 12 Hours in March, followed by the Sahlens Six Hours at Watkins Glen in July, and wraps up with the ten-hour Petit Le Mans at Road Atlanta in October.
