These Are The Winners Of The 2023 Rebelle Rally
The eighth Rebelle Rally came to its conclusion in the Imperial Sand Dunes just north of the Mexico/California border. This year 65 teams vied for the podium over seven grueling days. They started in Mammoth Mountain, CA with temperatures dropping to 15-degrees some nights as competitors tried to sleep in their tents.
Course director Jimmy Lewis sent both 4x4 and X-Cross class teams through some of the most spectacular terrain California and Nevada have to offer. The course started at the Upper Owens River, then wound its way to the near-forgotten ghost town of Gold Point, through the rocky trails of Ridgecrest, CA. The haunting Trona Pinnacles and whooped out Johnson Valley were both on the menu as teams made their way south to Glamis and the largest system of sand dunes in North America.

The International Cup was handed out to Canadian team CanToy Drives, team 144 made up of Liza Tough and Sue Chapin. And the Team Spirit awards, voted on by their fellow competitors, went to Team 204, Mountain Subie (Carey Lando and Dorothy Rake) who towed the number two 4x4 winner across the finish line when they ran out of fuel.
A new Perseverance Award went to a team of sisters from France who moved to the United States to work for a year and save up for the rally. Team 117, Brouck Sisters, Maureen and Hortense, were so driven to compete in the rally they bought a 1998 Jeep TJ sight unseen in Texas then drove straight to tech inspection.
Registration for the 2024 Rebelle is already open.
