Last year, the same team finished fourth out of 45 and scored the “Rookie of the Year award,” so it’s safe to say that the girls had their sights set on winning the competition on their second attempt.
A pair of Rivian employees driving a stock R1T won this year’s Rebelle Rally, the women-only 1,600-mile off-road course where GPS navigation is forbidden. This is the first time in the history of the event that an all-electric vehicle won in the 4x4 class, which is the main category of the competition, followed by the X-Cross where crossovers like the Ford Bronco Sport and Ford Mustang Mach-E also entered.
Macaruso is a Special Projects Engineer at Rivian and last year managed to change a tire in four minutes flat with her teammate, and Anderson is a Senior Mechanical Engineer at the California EV manufacturer. With this being said, Rivian’s ties with the Rebelle Rally run much deeper than you might think. The automaker started running in the competition back in 2020 when journalist Emme Hall drove a pre-production R1T for the first time.
