The Team
Emme Hall & Rebecca Donaghe
Rebecca and Emme met when both needed last-minute partners for the inaugural Rebelle. Since then they've teamed up six times for the Rebelle, brought home two first-place trophies, a Bone Stock award, numerous stage wins and pioneered the EV class. They've ventured to Saudi Arabia for the first Rally Jameel and scored a podium in the NORRA Baja Mexican 1000. Emme has thrown Rebecca into her race car to co-drive while Rebecca has introduced Emme to the joy of traveling on two wheels. One thing is for sure: When these two are together, hilarity and adventures ensue!

I might organize your chaotic garage or push you off a cliff in a hang glider. I'm that kind of friend.

Occupation
I am an award-winning automotive journalist and it's the best! Not only do I get to drive the latest and greatest, I help people who are making a huge financial decision. I love it when people message me and say, "I bought my Mazda CX-5 because of your review."
Car Memory
All of my memories are with cars, but the most recent one is flying over a jump in Buddy at the last race. I yelled to my co-driver, "I really don't know what's going to happen!" as we sailed off the jump at 60 mph. Buddy landed straight and kept right on going, while my co-dawg and I just laughed and laughed. It was great!
Self Described As
I regret nothing. Nothing.
Fun Fact
Once James Earl Jones told me I clean up nice.
Dream Car
Well, I have my dream race car, but I could use a new truck. Right now I'm in love with the Ford Ranger Raptor. My forbidden fruit car is a Suzuki Jimny. My dream pavement car, besides the Mazdaspeed, would probably be a Porsche Cayman GTS. Mid-engine, baby!
Objectives
My objectives are the same in this competition as in all competitions: do my best and have fun.
Greatest Adventure
I'm lucky enough to have been on so many! Riding a 50cc monkey bike through Mongolia? Yep. Falling off said monkey bike about a billion times? Absolutely. Racing the NORRA Mexican 1000 with no chase crew and a barely prepped car? Done that. I've driven a Tuk Tuk in Sri Lanka, ridden elephants in Vietnam and braved the white water rivers in Idaho. I still need to go to India and I'd like to drive to Tierra del Fuego one day.

Role

Occupation
I'm an award-winning producer in film, television and advertising for more than 25 years. My bread and butter is commercial and branded content projects which I love for their intensity, variety and brief schedule commitments allowing me to pursue my other passions. I begrudgingly sit with ants in my pants at a desk in between shoots and adventures planning budgets and logistics for both.
Car Memory
Winning the Rebelle 4x4 in a Jeep and X-Cross in a Rolls Royce, competing in the VIN 001 Rivian R1T, podium as first time driver in Rebelle then winning Bone Stock as driver in a BMW, podium in NORRA Mexican 1000 using paper roadbook navigation and no chase crew in a '69 Baja Bug. Driving solo across the US on back roads only in a '93 RHD JDM Delica. Driving rental cars across Morocco, Colombia, Alaska, Ireland and Spain.

I might organize your chaotic garage or push you off a cliff in a hang glider. I'm that kind of friend.
Fun Fact
In lieu of a check for location fees, I convinced a burlesque bar to accept a high kick as payment for a commercial shoot with Dita von Teese. I performed the kick, not Dita.
Dream Car
I fell in love with a cherry red 1967 Karmann Ghia convertible when I was 16yrs old and I haven't gotten over it. Also a Scout, classic or new, for adventures in the dirt!
Objectives
As always, do our best and have fun. We'll be swapping roles for the first time, so it will be fun to support each other from both seats and stretch ourselves as a team. Looking forward to getting some seat time on beautiful roads and the raceway in an absurdly gorgeous Bentley.
Greatest Adventure
A toss up between paddling for 6 days down the Amazon River in a 400lb traditional wooden canoe, sailing across the Atlantic for 11 days in a 110yr old tall ship and riding for 12 days across Mongolia on a 50cc mini motorcycle.
The Rig
