Following a storybook year which included four class wins in the FIA World Endurance Championship and overall victory at the Petit Le Mans, Neel Jani will return to Rebellion Racing in 2013, leading the team's expected dual-season attack in the WEC and American Le Mans Series.

Jani, who will enter his fifth season with the Anglo-Swiss squad, will kick off his season at the Twelve Hours of Sebring, as part of the team's two-car program.

"I am looking forward to another season with Rebellion Racing, which will be my fifth season with the team," Jani said. "We had a great year in 2012 and we will try to do the same if not better again in 2013. ”

Full details on the Swiss driver's program are yet to be announced.

"It is very positive for the team that Neel is part of our driver line-up again this year," team manager Bart Hayden said. "Neel has always demonstrated remarkable pace and last year he was more successful than ever with the team."

The entry deadline for the 24 Hours of Le Mans and WEC season is today at midnight.
