Looking for a High Adventure Orange County Event? Learn about Rebelle Rally 2022
If you’re looking for high-adventure Orange County events, you’ve come to the right place. This month, Toyota of Orange women engineers will team up in the 2022 Rebelle Rally competition. The off-road competition will take place from October 6-15th and is sure to be a blast. The women are set to adventure across 2,500 kilometers of desert terrain of Nevada and California.
Rebelle Rally is more than just a competition. It’s a one-of-a-kind movement gathering women from all across the country. The women participating in this event will be putting their driving and navigation skills to the test over the course of eight days. The race is not about speed, but rather it focuses on drivers’ ability to handle elements such as hidden checkpoints, maps, and headings.
The terrain will be tough, as the women will be faced with dirt roads, double tracks, and sand dunes as their biggest obstacles. In the past, the event has had to make changes to the course because of erosion and flooding. Drivers need to prepare for washouts and big rocks that may stand in their way.
There are several prizes that will be awarded at the Orange County event. The teams that place first, second, and third will receive a custom trophy as well as non-cash prizes. Other awards include the following titles: Team Spirit, Bone Stock, International Cup, and Rookie of the Year.
Toyota of Orange, a Toyota dealer near Tustin, is on a mission to make the automotive industry a more sustainable place. Toyota corporation has over 48,000 workers employed in North America who are revolutionizing the design, engineering, and overall look of millions of cars and trucks.
