Mouser-Sponsored Vaillante Rebellion Revs Up For Mexico in FIA Championship
Mouser-sponsored Vaillante Rebellion racing team has high expectations as it ispreparing hard for the grueling Six Hours of Mexico City.
The September 3 outing in the Mexico capital will be Round 5 of the 2017 Season of the FIA World Endurance Championship.
“We’re impressed by Vaillante Rebellion’s exceptional performance this season. In Nürburgring, both cars came off the line strong and attacked the field throughout the race,” said Todd McAtee, Mouser’s Vice President of Americas Business Development. “We are proud of the team and look forward to seeing them on the course in Mexico City.”
In the race for the Endurance Trophy for LMP2 Teams, the Mouser-sponsored Vaillante Rebellion No. 31 car has a firm hold on second place with 70 points and is positioned to mount a bid for the lead. The Vaillante Rebellion No. 13 car is at eighth place with 26 points but is still in the hunt with four races to go.
At the German track, the No. 31 car, piloted by Filipe Albuquerque, Bruno Senna and Julien Canal, led the pack in the first hour and bravely fought off several challenges to secure a second place win in the LMP2 category.
Vaillante Rebellion’s No. 13 car, driven by PipoDerani, Mathias Beche and David Heinemeier Hansson, followed closely to place fourth in the category.
After Mexico City, the series travels to Fuji, Japan, on October 15 and Shanghai on November 5, before ending the season at Sakhir, Bahrain, on November 18.
