Mitsubishi takes second place at the Rebelle Rally

Mitsubishi Motors North America, Inc. (MMNA) celebrated Team Record the Journey securing second place in the Crossover Utility Vehicle (CUV)class of the 2019 Rebelle Rally, and breaking barriers with the first adaptive-athlete driver ever to compete in the rally.

U.S. Army and Air Force Veterans Rachael Ridenour and Karah Behrend of Team Record the Journey made history, as Behrend drove their hand control-equipped Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross over the finish line and became the first adaptive athlete to complete and podium in the Rebelle.

Ridenour and Behrend mastered skillful driving, precise navigation and effective team communication to earn a total of 1,265 points and secure the runner-up spot in the rally's CUV class.

Their performance also earned them the 2019 Rebelle Rally Team Spirit Award, which honors the most inspirational team in the event as voted by their fellow competitors.

More than just a grueling eight-day rally raid, the Rebelle Rally is also a proving ground for vehicles. From the slopes of Lake Tahoe, to the depths of Death Valley and on to the iconic Imperial Sand Dunes of Glamis, California, one element remained constant - the Eclipse Cross CUV.
