The Rebellion No. 13 R-One car ran away with the crown in the LMP1 Privateer Class and put in a strong showing at the Six Hours of Bahrain, the season finale.
The No. 13 car — driven by the dynamic team of Matheo Tuscher, Dominik Kraihamer and Alexandre Imperatori — racked up a whopping 193 points, 84 more than the second-place challenger. Rebellion’s No. 12 car finished third in the Privateer class with 104 points.
