Ford is sponsoring five teams at this year's Rebelle Rally, with four teams trying to extend the multi-year success of Bronco® and Bronco® Sport, while the fifth strives to complete the grueling course in the all-electric Mustang Mach-E® Rally.
The Rebelle Rally is the first women's off-road navigation rally raid in the U.S. It not only showcases the ability of the vehicle entries, but also challenges the navigation skills of the participants. No GPS. No cell phones. Ever.
Each team consists of a driver, navigator and vehicle, with no team support crew allowed. Participants spend their nights camping along the approximately 1,500-mile course.
The event will start at Mammoth Mountain on Oct. 12, wind its way across rugged terrain in Nevada and California, and finish in the Imperial Sand Dunes in Southern California on Oct. 21.
This is the fourth consecutive year of Ford participation and the first time Ford is an official sponsor (Silver Sponsor).
