TVR Partners With Rebellion Racing For Le Mans And WEC

Not long after publishing and swiftly deleting a teaser image of its racing return, British automaker TVR has just announced its partnership with Rebellion Racing for the Le Mans 24 Hours and FIA World Endurance Championship.

TVR will act as the main automotive partner for Rebellion Racing with the firm’s logo incorporated into the red and black livery of the two Oreca R-13 LMP prototypes run by the team. This is TVR’s first official motorsport project in 13 years and comes on the back of the revived company launching the Griffith sports car.

The carmaker asserts that its relationship with Rebellion Racing will “flow directly into the development and production both of its road car line-up, and into its future racing projects.”

“When we resurrected the TVR brand, we knew that we wanted to achieve a return to the race track,” said TVR chairman Les Edgar.

“Our partnership with REBELLION Racing allows us to achieve that goal, while bringing about valuable operational and technical knowledge, which directly transfers to our road car operation and future racing activities.”

TVR joins Gibson race engines, Motul lubricants, and Carbon Champagne as Rebellion Racing partners for the 2018-2019 Super Season. The TVR-sponsored Oreca will make its track debut at the WEC Prologue event at Circuit Paul Ricard on April 6.
