It was a pretty chaotic race at Bahrain and disappointment for Ginetta, with both cars retiring with transmission problems.

The chaos continued with the next round in Brazil cancelled and replaced by a six hour race at the Circuit of The Americas in Austin, Texas on 23 February. The two Ginettas will be sitting out CoTA - the team announced last week that the cars would return to the UK for planned maintenance ahead of the 1000 miles of Sebring in March. The cars have not been back to base since the Silverstone race last summer.

However, the CoTA six hours will feature one of the new Corvette C8Rs and the Dragonspeed LMP2 team - the #63 Corvette will also race at Sebring. When the WEC returns to Europe, Rebellion will return to running two cars at Spa and then Le Mans. Meanwhile, the 2020-21 season dates have been announced and the calendar includes a race at Kyalami next February - the first visit of the WEC to South Africa.
