Knowing the value of the Lotus sponsorship maybe that logo on the side should read 'Poundland'.

Do they have the equivalent of 'pound shops' on the continent?

I like it, but the new Lola's lights aren't appealing to me.

Rebellion's Gold color looked better IMO. Still love the Black and Gold look though.

Understatement... it was the nicest livery of the whole grid, by far. Now it's just one of those 1001 re-badged Lotus looks with very little personality. The ugly shark fin stands out more in black, too

I agree completely. This Lotus livery on the new B12/60 is just too plain.

Agreed, last year's livery was one of my favourites. The new livery does look better on the the B12's than on the B11's they ran at Sebring.

Any news/times from testing? Heidfeld tweeted yesterday the wind made for less than optimal testing conditions.

Rebellion's 2014 plans: ranging from own chassis (likelier for 2015) to P2... but sounds like running the current one in grandfathered spec is the most realistic option.

Will be interesting to see where they head. I hope they can secure a maker for a new 2014 spec car. Notice they said other manufacturers have approached them.

They are a very successful team with a well deserved reputation for making the best of the resources they have so should be able to attract partners let us hope that they will continue to be the top private team and compete with the factory cars

I always wanted them to get Toyota's car like Oreca had the 908. I don't see it happening soon if at all.

Not when Toyota barely build enough chassis for themselves.

Why build more than what you need? The fact is TMG's facilities are able to do all this for a team, it's basically up for rent out. This was hinted at in a previous interview that TMG could possibly be in the business in the future of doing customer LMP cars. Don't think Rebellion will convince them anytime soon to do this, but it will be interesting to see if they stick with Toyota power.

Rebellion Racing team manager Bart Hayden talks wheel arch extensions, LMP1 BoP and ALMS title bid...

At the moment, the nominal intention [for post-Le Mans] is one car WEC, one car ALMS. That would then beg the question what you do with the third car. And I don't really know the answer yet. Maybe we'll look to take the second car around the world with us for the WEC events and supplement those events. Nothing is really fixed or planned yet.

Funny, I've heard some call Rebellion's ALMS effort their "B team". If Jani & Heidfeld is the "B team", I'd like to see Rebellion's "A team"!

On a more serious note, hopefully they do sell Dyson the updates to the rear wing. Be great to see the Lola teams work together a little.
