They struck a deal to !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! Nissan tried to run.

And check out Rebellion’s new war paint.

I admit, it could use more gold and yellow (calling opposaurus), but the style itself is quite good; a more geometric take on Jon Olsson’s camo liveries.

These two teams are going to great places.

That Audi/Porsche fusion Rebellion livery is pretty sexy

Too bad ByKolles is competing against themselves this year.

Curious if Rebellion is going to change liveries between IMSA and WEC.

Didn’t Nissan fail to get the electric part of the power unit working? I wonder if they’ve got it working or just not using it entirely...

Any idea?

The hybrid system itself wasn’t completely non-functional, Nissan just couldn’t figure out how to get it to work the way they wanted to (iirc they abandoned the original design of powering the rear axle early in development and ended up sending the hybrid energy to the front wheels via the driveshaft just to get any use out of the sytem at all). That being said, even if ByKolles somehow get the system working they won’t be able to use it because they’ve already registered for the LMP1-L class, which doesn’t allow hybrids.

Toyota’s TS050 was also red/white/black, so basically the entire LMP1H category.
