The FIA World Endurance Championship and Le Mans 24 Hours will be heating up in 2022 as Peugeot and Rebellion join forces to take on the competitive challenges. Talk about planning ahead!
The two companies will focus their shared passion for racing, their respective success in the discipline and their sporting and technological pedigrees on contesting world-class endurance racing’s Hypercar class using hybrid power.
In January 2020, the technical squad will lay down the project’s main lines as Peugeot Sport and Rebellion Racing puts the team into place.
Jean-Philippe Imparato, chief executive officer of Peugeot, said: “Peugeot has been behind some of endurance racing’s most memorable moments, with both petrol and diesel power.
“Today, we are turning our attention to a new adventure founded on hybrid-electrified technology. We were delighted to see how warmly the recent announcement of our participation in the series was welcomed, especially as this exciting shift in sporting and power-unit terms will accompany the launch of Peugeot Sport Engineered cars. I am very enthusiastic about this programme, especially as we will be working in association with a major partner. Rebellion’s proven passion, quest for perfection and performance credentials fit perfectly with our own values, which are exacting standards, sharp design and emotion.”
Alexandre Pesci, president of Rebellion Corporation believes that together, they will build a car and team that will be competitive and successful in the fiercely-contested championship.
