Rivian Wins 2023 Rebelle Rally! - Macaruso & Anderson make historic EV win with an R1T!

[Visket]

An interesting (to me, at least) fact.

The last day of the Rally was at the Glamis Sand Dunes. There was worry/speculation by some commentators that the "EVs" might have a problem with range in the sand.

When all was said and done, Team Rivian (#187) had 34% charge left. More than half of the ICE vehicles were running on fumes, and some had to be towed back to base camp - INCLUDING the 2nd place car, and 3-time Rebelle Rally winner, Nena Barlow in the #129 2024 Wrangler 4Xe!

Now who has "range anxiety"?

Congrats to the the team drivers and Rivian! Maybe next year Rivian will actually pony up some money and become an official sponsor.

Shout out to all the entrants in this year's Rebelle! Route and competition looked tough this year, but Team 187 came out of the dunes of Glamis with a 1st ever victory in an EV. Pretty cool see them finally win, and to see Rivian supporting the event. Way to go Lilly & Alex!

Along these lines, would be great to see how a dual motor max pack does!

Would the dual motor be in a different class? I was looking at the results and noticed that the Mustang Mach-E Rally competed in the X-Cross Class, not the 4X4 Class.

Captain Obvious would like to point out that the winner is Limestone.
