Rebelle Rally | Behind the Scenes

- For seven days, Kelley Blue Book's Lyn Woodward and teammate Sedona Blinson brave the wilds of Nevada and California driving off-road without a GPS device, using only a map and compass to compete in the Rebelle Rally.
First things first. Tech inspection, before the rally starts. Mechanics make sure they can’t use their nav systems and confirm that they're off-road worthy. Their 2018 Nissan Armada was heavily modified for competition this year. Sorry, not for sale at dealerships.
Both driver and navigator have done this competition before, so they knew what to expect, but they were in for seven 11+ hour days together and it can get pretty intense.
Competitors wake up at 5am and get a list of checkpoints to find for the day. Teams plot their given latitude and longitude coordinates on a map, then ping a satellite tracker when they find checkpoints to record their location with the judges. Similar to ranking ski runs, mandatory green checkpoints are the easiest to find.
The optional and harder blue checkpoints are marked with a smaller flag or blue post, and the toughest black checkpoints aren't marked at all. Whichever team accumulates the most points in both the 4x4 and crossover classes over seven days wins. There would be 145 checkpoints for us to navigate to over the course of this week. And most of the time, it’s not easy.
At the end of their long, intense days they return to basecamp. There are fuel trucks so teams can fill up their vehicles each night.
In addition to finding checkpoints, there are time, speed, distance challenges called Enduros. Folks these may not look it, but they’re highly stressful. There are usually three or four time controls along the way. And if you don’t pass them within four seconds of when you’re supposed to you’re docked points.
The Rebelle covers so much different terrain every year, from rutted out dirt roads in Death Valley, and the Trona Pinnacles, which make you feel like you’re in an episode of Star Trek, to the sharp shale-covered inclines of Stoddard Wells and Johnson Valley OHV areas, and finally the ever-shifting sand dunes of Glamis. And not everybody is comfortable driving on everything.
Teams are free to help one another but get outside help and you’re penalized points. And some bad stuff can happen out there. Comparing notes on where you’re heading isn’t uncommon. But make no mistake, that doesn’t mean teams don’t want to win.
A wide range of unmodified stock vehicles compete every year. Ford, Honda, Jeep, Lexus, Mitsubishi, Nissan and even Rolls-Royce, all put in competitors this year. The field is stocked with Subarus, Toyotas, and Land Rovers. This year saw the largest crossover class in Rebelle history.
You absolutely do not have to be a professional driver or navigator to do this. Basic navigation and off-road driving knowledge is all you need to compete. But the Rebelle is won or lost based on how good your navigator is. Plotting points on a map is one thing, seeing the topography come to life out of the windshield is something else entirely.
Sedona and Lyn competed hard. They drove some of the most technical terrain they've ever attempted and for their fearlessness they took 6th place overall, something they'd never anticipated.
76 women from six countries ranging in age from 23 to 71 conquered, well, honestly, whatever it was they came to conquer in this event that can be life changing. - Auta a dopravní prostředky
Nice to see something different...Good job Lynn👍
Awesome content and awesome job to Lynn and Sedona!
Such an awesome challenge. Nice work!
YAY LYNNN!!!!
CONGRATULATIONS. That was an amazing accomplishment.
Well done Lynn, thoroughly enjoyed the coverage.
That’s awesome! Great job to all the teams
One of my favorite videos you’ve uploaded so far. I love rallys and exploration while off-roading. Thanks for sharing.
I’ve been following the Rebelle Rally for a long time now!! Love to see it and love to see you doing this it’s so awesome!!
¡Aaaaaahhhhhh! asombroso. Además de hermosa me fascina como enfrenta los desafíos; sin miedo, sin temor. Ellas no tienen precio. Saben a lo que se enfrentan. Me gustan bastante. 2 medallas de oro se han ganado.
Thank you!!
Go, Lyn! That looks like a blast!
whoever has the Rolls-Royce out there is a total badass!
I think that was veteran rally racer Emme Hall, who is now on CNET/Roadshow. Rank has it's privileges!
@@cadsux I miss Emme when she was at TFL
Way to go, such a 👍 job by two inspiring women!!
That looks like a great time. Congrats!
this looks incredible.
love the Datsun screenshot on your phone.
Bruh someone showed up and did this in a Rolls Royce Cullinan ?? 4:55
Yea it's Rolls themselves, not some Rolls owner.
Wow, that’s awesome!😸😸
Cool!!!!
Really cool
Nice work! I learned a lot more than I knew about what it's like to do the Rebelle. Driving 20 mph for an hour.... eeeesh yuck. :P
This should be 60 min. Awesome video!
Doing the competition in style and leather wrapped cabin complains they are gonna miss the checkpoint because it is running on limp mode🤣
Ouch flooring it and it's not working, terrible truck! lol Just get a Land Cruiser and never look back. Good thing you had the Nissan Patrol....Armada to take you through the challenge with ease!
Pleeeassseee more behind the scenes footage if you have it! Cus this was great, my girlfriend and I have been researching this all day, we totally want to do this as we overland often!
Find the current and former teams on social media. They are mostly very friendly and happy to answer questions. There are US and International Teams out there. You could probably find somebody near you too.
The lack of power from a Rolls Royce Cullinan? Yikes.
Well done! Micah better stay quiet now 🤣🤣🤣
I'm surprised that you picked the Armada, there are many better options out there but you stayes with it, it just shows how Nissan doesn't let Peugeot touch their iconic trucks
Great job. I guess you & Sedona beat Emme Hall who was in the Cullinan?
We were actually in different classes. Lyn and Sedona were 4x4. The Cullinan doesn't have a low range so we were in the crossover class, which we won. :)
nissan😍
Poor Emmie!!!!!!
So who won
Which vehicle came in first?
@fender aren't they the ladies from Expedition Overland?
A rolls Royce? Really? Wow
And auto reviewers say those cullinans will never leave the streets and go off road 😜😜
Arabs would be delighted to join in this rally
Hey!
As a father of 3 daughters I love seeing this, but unfortunately my girls wouldn't go for this... To put it their word's " it's too far from trader Joe's, whole foods or Starbucks"
4:55 @ EVERYONE WHO SAYS “ROLLS ROYCE OWNERS WILL NEVER TAKE IT OFF ROAD”
lol why do land rovers even bother they break every 26 hrs
I love you guys so much but I was surprised when they said a bone stock Lexus GX460 won
what have they misidentified our space ship which houses all them other ships, escape pods and weekend jaunt type as well as milk run jetson craft? what's in a name anyway. its our fucking craft.
Dam I guess I won’t be able to compete 😟🥲
