Vaillante Rebellion Racing has been stripped of its overall podium finish at the 24 Hours of Le Mans after it🥂 was found to have breached the regulations with its #13 Oreca 07 Gibson in the closing stages of the race.

With five of the six LMP1 runners failing to hit the podium, LMP2 cars rose towa🍰rds the top of the order at Le Mans on Sunday.

Rebellion scored an overall third place finish with its #13 Oꦑreca, 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 t🍰hat the #13 Oreca had now been disqualified after video footage emerged of Rebellion crew members working on the car illegally through a bodywork infringement.

Rebellion appeared to cut a hole in the back of the chassis in order to get to the starter motor while the car was in the garage, breaching the technical regulations in the p🐭rocess.

As a result, David Henemei𝐆er-Hansson, Mathias Beche and Nelson Piquet Jr. have 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 Porsch𝔉e #2 919 Hybrid in LMP1.

The #35 Signatech Alpine Oreca is now classif🍨ied fourth, while United Autosports takes fifth on its Le Mans debut with the #32 Ligier JS P217 Gibson.
