Competition
Blending the love of driving with the ultimate challenge of precise navigation, the Rebelle tests your skills over 8 days of competition. It is not a race for speed, but a unique and demanding event based on the elements of headings, hidden checkpoints, time, and distance using maps, compass, and roadbook.

The Vehicles
The Rebelle is a competition for stock, OEM vehicles, not race cars. Street legal, minimal mods. Because the vehicle in driveways across the globe are more capable than people realize.

4×4
4-Wheel Drive vehicles = has a two-speed transfer case (low range gears).
Examples: Jeep Wrangler/Rubicon, Pickup trucks, and SUVs including Toyota Tacoma 4×4, Ford Bronco, Land Rover, Nissan Frontier.
X-CROSS®
Two-wheel or All-Wheel Drive = NO two-speed transfer case (no low range gears)
Examples: Subaru Forester/Outback, Mitsubishi Outlander, Toyota RAV4, Ford Bronco Sport, Porsche Cayenne, etc.
A Unique & Challenging Format
We have worked years to create a competitive format – known as Rebelle Format – that meets our competitive mission, works on public lands, respects the environment, with a unique points system that pushes competitors. It is a game of strategy.
- Compass & Map Challenges - Green, Blue, Black Diamond, & X Checkpoints
- Enduro Challenges - Roadbooks to stay "on time" or "on route"
- Black diamond CPs are scored on a step method "nearest the bullseye"
- Enduro challenges can include "extreme enduros"
- Competitors are given a CP Guide with all needed information for the stage & must plot latitude longitudes or heading & distances on the map to identify locations of CPs.
- Highest score wins
- 10-12+ hours of competition per day
- Competitors return to "base camp" at the end of a stage
- Minimum 1 marathon stage per rally = no overnight base camp

- 8 days of rally / 365 days per year of testing
- Commercial film permits across over 1500 miles of terrain & land management agencies
- Mapbox opportunities to visualize and serve data on a public facing map, or privately to engineers, product developers, +++
