June 19, 2013 – Mouser Electronics, Inc., a leading engineering resource and global distributor of semiconductors and electronic components, congratulates the 2014 Rebellion Racing Team for a strong showing at this past weekend's 24 Hours of Le Mans.
The Mouser-sponsored team finished 1st in the LMP1-L class and 4th overall in the famed race in France. The team had the distinction of being the top finishing non-factory team, with driver Nico Prost driving across the finish just behind Audi and Toyota while managing to be well ahead of two LMP1 entries from Porsche. It was the team's third top-six finish in four consecutive years.
Mouser is sponsoring the 2014 Rebellion team in partnership with LEMO, a global leader in the design and production of precision custom connection solutions. The team's primary sponsor is Rebellion, a Swiss manufacturer of high-end watches. The team is competing in races organized by the FIA World Endurance Championship (WEC).
Rebellion ran two Rebellion R-One LMP1-L cars on the Le Mans course, known as the “Grand Prix of Endurance.” Rebellion's No. 12 car finished with an average speed of 235.4 km/h (146.3 mph). Rebellion's No. 13 had a power train failure and was knocked out in the 6th hour. The three drivers, who split the duties of the 24 hour race, were Nick Heidfeld, Nicolas Prost and Mathias Beche.
“I don't think we can quite believe this result,” said Bart Hayden, Manager of the Rebellion Racing Team. “In the space of only two months, the first shakedown has taken place and now we have finished in fourth place in the 24 Hours of Le Mans.”
Racing is all about speed and endurance, and for Mouser the racing sponsorship is an innovative way to communicate its performance-driven business model and promote the newest technologies and how they impact the high-tech world of auto racing. Every advanced, sophisticated component that goes into a race car is all about precision and gaining a performance edge out on the track. Car racing is the perfect vehicle to build top-of-mind awareness for Mouser and its industry-leading manufacturers.
