Team #122’s Hlavnicka & Carlson Claim 4th Place Finish at Rebelle Rally

Team #122—comprised of seasoned competitors Tobi Hlavnicka and Caralina Carlson—finished 4th overall in the milestone 10th anniversary Rebelle Rally, racking up 1,637 points and achieving 87% of the total possible points in their 2023 Ford Bronco Raptor.

As third-time competitors in North America’s toughest navigational off-road rally, Hlavnicka and Carlson tackled over 1,500 miles of punishing desert terrain—from deep sand dunes and muddy washes to jagged lava rock fields. Their success was made possible in part by the performance and reliability of RBP Tires, which helped carry the Bronco across every demanding mile with confidence and control, company officials stated in a press release.

“This year’s Rebelle was our most challenging yet—and our most rewarding,” said Hlavnicka. “We knew what to expect going in, but the 10th anniversary edition raised the bar. We stayed focused, trusted each other and let the Bronco and RBP Tires do their thing.”

The Rebelle Rally Requires Navigational Skills & Serious Endurance

The Rebelle Rally is a competition of skill that emphasizes navigation, precision and endurance over eight days of off-grid competition. With no GPS, no cell phones, and no outside support, it’s a test of mental and physical resilience.

“Every year we come back stronger,” said Carlson. “It’s not just about placing; it’s about proving what’s possible when you commit to the challenge. RBP Tires gave us the grip and durability we needed to push forward, even when the terrain was trying to stop us.”

Team #122 says that its Top 5 finish caps off a hard-fought rally filled with seasoned teams and fierce competition, affirming their place as serious contenders in the Rebelle field and setting the stage for even bigger goals ahead.
