US Headquarters 1000 N. Main Street, Mansfield, TX 76063, USA (817) 804-3800 Main www.mouser.com For Immediate Release Mouser-Sponsored Vaillante Rebellion Celebrates Win in Mexico, Gears Up for Texas Race September 14, 2017 – Following an exceptional first-place finish at the tough Six Hours of Mexico, the Mouser-sponsored Vaillante Rebellion racing team now turns its attention stateside as it prepares for the 6 Hours of COTA at Lone Star Le Mans, set for September 16 at the Circuit of the Americas in Austin, Texas. The Mouser-sponsored Vaillante Rebellion No. 31 car quickly made its way to the front of the LMP2 pack, trading the lead spot several times before driver Bruno Senna returned to the cockpit to pace out the competition at the end of the race. The team is well positioned to make a run for the 2017 FIA World Endurance Championship title with four races left in the nine-race season. The race at Lone Star Le Mans poses a unique challenge, with temperatures in Austin averaging 90 degrees F (32 degrees C) making the Circuit of the Americas the warmest venue so far this year. In the race for the Endurance Trophy for LMP2 Teams, the Vaillante Rebellion No. 31 car, piloted by Senna, Nico Prost and Julien Canal, had a solid hold on second place going into Mexico City. Vaillante Rebellion’s No. 13 car, driven by Nelson Piquet, Jr., Mathias Beche and David Heinemeier Hansson, is among a tightly packed group just short of the top three. “Coming off a fantastic first-place finish in Mexico and second-place finish at Nürburgring, the Vaillante Rebellion team is performing exceptionally,” said Todd McAtee, Mouser’s Vice President of Americas Business Development.
