For the first time ever, a fully-electric battery vehicle has taken the crown at the Rebelle Rally.
The 2023 Rivian R1T crossed the finish line this past weekend in first place with Lily Macaruso behind the wheel and navigator Alex Anderson sitting in the right seat.
Driver Marcuso is senior special projects engineer at Rivian. In 2019, she navigated for Miller in the Carta Rally in Morocco, taking the class win. After working on the crew for the Rebelle Rally, she joined as a competitor in 2022, leading to her overall 4x4 win in 2023. “This year was a new twist of constant navigation challenges,” says Anderson. “We had the time crunch as usual, but on top of that, we had so many new elements thrown at us. We had to navigate heavily wooded forests. One day we were handed a map with so few features it might as well have been blank and had to rely only on dead-reckoning– traveling on a consistent heading– to find the checkpoints.
