REBELLION R13 LMP1 - HOTLAP AT SPA IN THUNDERSTORM [AC]

Welcome to my new video! This time, I was pushing the Rebellion R13 LMP1 one lap around the Circiut of Spa in the thunderstorm during the night including traffic. Be prepared for amazing realism.

The Rebellion R13 LMP1 is a high-performance endurance racing car that competed in the top category of the FIA World Endurance Championship (WEC). Built by Rebellion Racing, a Swiss motorsport team, in collaboration with Oreca, the R13 debuted in 2018 as a privateer entry, challenging the dominance of factory-backed teams like Toyota in the LMP1 class.The car is powered by a Gibson GL458 V8 naturally aspirated engine, delivering around 700 horsepower, and features a lightweight carbon-fiber monocoque chassis designed for maximum aerodynamics and durability. Its design emphasizes speed, efficiency, and reliability, critical for the demanding conditions of endurance racing, which often span 6 to 24 hours.The R13 achieved notable success during its tenure, including multiple podium finishes and victories in WEC races, and was a strong competitor at the prestigious 24 Hours of Le Mans. Despite operating as a privateer team, Rebellion Racing consistently showcased the car's performance capabilities, earning respect in the endurance racing community.The R13’s legacy lies in its role as one of the last non-hybrid LMP1 cars to compete at the top level before the introduction of the Hypercar class in 2021. It represents a significant chapter in endurance racing history, highlighting the competitive spirit and engineering excellence of independent teams.

The Circuit de Spa-Francorchamps, commonly referred to as Spa, is one of the most iconic and challenging motorsport tracks in the world. Located in the Ardennes region of Belgium, it is celebrated for its natural terrain, dramatic elevation changes, and high-speed corners. First opened in 1921, the track has undergone several changes over the decades but retains much of its original character, making it a favorite among drivers and fans alike.

The track is best known for its legendary corners, such as Eau Rouge and Raidillon, a steep uphill sequence that tests both the skill and bravery of drivers. Other notable sections include Blanchimont, Pouhon, and La Source, each offering unique challenges in terms of speed, grip, and precision. Spa's layout demands a perfect balance of aerodynamic efficiency and mechanical grip, making it a true test for cars and drivers.

Measuring 7.004 kilometers (4.352 miles), it is one of the longest circuits on the Formula 1 calendar and a staple of endurance racing, including the 24 Hours of Spa. Its unpredictable weather, with frequent rain showers that can affect parts of the track while leaving others dry, adds an extra layer of complexity to races.

Spa’s history is steeped in motorsport legends, hosting the Belgian Grand Prix, endurance events, and GT championships. The track’s atmosphere, nestled in lush forests and rolling hills, enhances its reputation as a jewel of motorsport. For enthusiasts, Spa-Francorchamps represents the pinnacle of racing heritage, excitement, and technical mastery.
