Stewart Cox, Algarve Pro Racing Team Manager: “For this season, we want to follow on from what REBELLION Racing did in last years in WEC championship. Thomas Laurent is outstanding, he is a very gifted young man that will continue to develop in the hands of our engineer Greg Wheeler. For me, REBELLION symbolizes performance, perfection and sophistication.”
Thomas Laurent: “I absolutely needed to drive in addition to the WEC because there are only 5 races in 2018 and I have to drive a maximum to increase my level! I am very happy that REBELLION accompanies me on this project! I see it as a kind of trust and I appreciate it a lot. With Harrison Newey, we are more than motivated to get a title at the end of the season!”
