As the Rebelle Rally celebrates its 10th anniversary on Oct. 8-18, Warner INEOS Grenadier will field four teams, two podium-contending works entries and two satellite teams. As part of INEOS Automotive’s Silver Sponsorship, Warner Grenadier states that it is proud to represent the competitors and the INEOS Grenadier in this milestone year.
Founded in 2016, the Rebelle Rally is a women’s off-road navigation rally raid. It’s an eight-day, 2,500-kilometer (1,550-mile) navigation challenge across Nevada and California using only maps, compasses, a roadbook and determination.
“The Rebelle has shown me what real strength looks like. Setting aside ego, focusing on clear communication, and working to bring out the best in my teammate. Every rally makes me more resilient and more adaptable,” Elise Young, navigator, Team 128 explains.
“Logos and ads deliver visibility, but lived experience creates belonging,” said Tony Warner, dealer principal at Warner INEOS Grenadier. “Our works teams prove the Grenadier’s capability, and our satellites show it is lived by real owners. Warner INEOS Grenadier’s role is to make that possible.”
The Two Works Teams for Warner INEOS Grenadier
The works teams are Warner’s official, fully backed entries. They are podium contenders that are designed to prove the Grenadier at the highest level, company officials stated in a press release.
Team #128 “Grins & Grit” – Susan Pieper & Elise Young
In 2024, Pieper and Young drove the Grenadier Trialmaster to an 8th-place overall finish. Young has since been called a podium-worthy navigator by Rebelle founder Emily Miller.
Team #127 “Shift Happens” – Michelle Kerby & Sabrina Howells
Kerby and Howells are multi-year Rebelles. Howells brings podium pedigree with four Rebelle Rally podium finishes and four Gazelle Rally appearances.
Satellite Teams for Warner INEOS Grenadier
Satellite teams are Warner-supported competitors. They are real Grenadier owners and skilled ambassadors who expand the culture of the Grenadier beyond podium results, noted the release.
Team #168 “SWAG” – Eliza Coleman & Amy Milyard
Coleman, a Hollywood stunt driver and Rebelle veteran, pairs with rookie Milyard, an Army veteran and entrepreneur stepping into her first rally.
Team #198 “Aurora Rex” – Kathryn Goacher & Kristian Rene
Goacher, co-owner of Alliance Auto Care and G-Wagen expert, joins Rene, a strategist, two-time Rebelle competitor and patent-holder in sustainable fuels.
Jeep recently announced that it was returning to the Rebelle Rally with two teams, and Toyota revealed that it would send its usual six teams plus one satellite team.
