Ferdinand Habsburg, winner of the second tier LMP2 class at last year's 24 Hours of Le Mans, says his newly-launched 'Rebel Team' can be a 'democratising influence' on global motorsport.
The 26-year-old endurance racer, winner of the second tier LMP2 class at last year's 24 Hours of Le Mans, said his newly-launched “Rebel Team” can be a “democratising influence” on global motorsport. “Young drivers almost always have to pay big money for their race drives, and very few of them are lucky enough to have family or backers with pockets deep enough.Habsburg said Rebel Team, which debuted at this month's Le Mans 24 Hours, would help fund young drivers by a blockchain-based membership limited to 10,000 and costing $250 for the remainder of this season and 2024.
