Ram Trucks Partners with Nena Barlow for 2020 Rebelle Rally
Ram Truck announced today a renewed partnership with Nena Barlow to compete in the 2020 Rebelle Rally. This will be the fourth time for Barlow in the Rebelle Rally with Ram Trucks, having brought home the Bone Stock Award and other trophies for podium finishes in previous years.
Barlow’s rally team “Team 4 Corners” plans to once again engage veteran navigator Chris Mayne from France. Barlow and Mayne competed together successfully in the 2017 and 2018 rallies. Although the team did not complete in the 2019 rally, Barlow did make an appearance on the rally’s media team on the final day, co-driving with skiing legend Wendy Fisher. Barlow also continues to provide 4wd instruction for many participants in the rally, while Mayne competes in and provides navigation instruction for many overseas rallies.
In their daily lives, Barlow operates a 4wd training, guiding and rental business, Barlow Adventures, and Mayne works in PR for an automotive manufacturer in Europe.
Ram Truck has yet to announce details about the vehicle that Barlow will be piloting for this year’s rally, but one of the premises of the Rebelle Rally is limited vehicle modifications, including stipulations such as a maximum allowed tire height of 35-inches. A special award, the Bone Stock Award, goes to the highest scoring team driving a vehicle in completely stock condition, just as it came from the factory. In previous years of the rally, Barlow drove a 2016 Ram Rebel, 2017 Ram Power Wagon, and 2019 Ram Rebel, all just as they came from the factory.
The Rebelle Rally is an off-road navigation-based competition, travelling 1200-1400 miles in 7 days across the deserts of the western United States, using only map and compass. No GPS or outside help is allowed, and the course is a closely guarded secret. Over 40 teams, all women, drive production vehicles in either 4x4 or Crossover class, seeking checkpoints with varying degrees of navigation and driving challenge.
This year, the Rebelle Rally takes place October 8 to 17, 2020, from Lake Tahoe, in Northern California, across the Nevada desert, ending in the famous Imperial Sand Dunes, better known as Glamis, in Southern California.
