Rebellion Racing will enter next month's IMSA WeatherTech Sportscar Championship finale at Road Atlanta with an adjusted driver lineup and a new livery.
Formula E front-runner Nick Heidfeld, World Endurance LMP2 champion Gustavo Menezes and Rebellion WEC regular Mathias Beche will pilot the team's single ORECA 07-Gibson during the 10-hour Petit Le Mans contest.
In addition, the team's car will sport a one-off yellow livery to mark a charity auction supported by its title sponsor, Rebellion Timepieces.
Heidfeld was joined by LMP1 stars Sebastien Buemi and Neel Jani at the Daytona 24 Hours and 12 Hours of Sebring earlier this year, while Stephane Sarrazin joined for Daytona only.
After finishing eighth and ninth at those two races, the Anglo-Swiss outfit is aiming to repeat its 2013 Petit Le Mans triumph at the final race of the season.
"We have a different driver line-up from when we raced at Sebring, but the drivers that will be in our car for the season finale at Atlanta have shown their pace previously, so we know that we will be competitive," said Rebellion Racing team manager Bart Hayden.
"On our last two visits to the Petit Le Mans at Road Atlanta, we won the race outright, so we will be trying to keep that record going."
Heidfeld was part of the crew that won the traditional season-closer four years ago, while Beche comes in from the team's WEC LMP2 stable.
Menezes, meanwhile, will take part in his second IMSA race this year, having driven a GT3-spec Lexus at Daytona.
"I am really looking forward to joining the Rebellion boys for the race," said Menezes, who races full-time in the WEC with rival outfit Signatech Alpine.
"We have always been good friends and although we compete against each others during the WEC season, I am an ambassador for the brand so it’s actually really special to be able to extend the partnership."
This year's Petit Le Mans entry list features 38 cars across four categories, with nine listed in Prototype.
