Vaillante Rebellion Racing has bee🃏n stripped of its overall podium finish at the 24 Hours of Le Mans after it was found to have breached the regulatio♏ns with its #13 Oreca 07 Gibson in the closing stages of the race.

With five of the s💛ix LMP1 runners failing to hit the ꦆpodium, LMP2 cars rose towards the top of the order at Le Mans on Sunday.

Rebellion scored an overall third p൩lace finish with its #13 Oreca, taking second in the LMP2 class, to mark its best result in the 🅠24-hour classic to date.

However, the FIA stewards at Le Mans confirmed on Monday that the #13 Oreca had now been disqualified after video footage emerged of Rebellion crew members working on the car illegally through a bodywork infringe🃏ment.

Rebellion appeared to cut a hole in the back of the chassis in orde🅠r to get to the starter motor while the car was in the garage, breaching th🐭e technical regulations in the process.

As a result, David Henemeier-Hansson, Mathias Beche and Nelson Piquet Jr. ha�🐠�ve been stripped of their third-place finish, although the team does intend to appeal.

This promotes the second Jackie Chan DC 🎉Racing #37 Oreca onto the overall podium, giving the Jota-run team a one-two class finish in the process after the #38 Oreca finished P2 behind the race-winning Porsche #2 919 Hybrid in LMP1.

The #35 Signatech Alpine Oreca is ꦕnow classified fourth, while United Autosports takes fifth on its Le Mans debut🍸 with the #32 Ligier JS P217 Gibson.
