Rebels big-race grid is taking shape

How will the world's best Rebels Racers line up for the Weltch Media World-Wide Rebellion in September?

Today, we present a first look at how the qualifying grid is taking shape, after three of the seven rounds, and before last weekend's round at Lochgelly in Scotland.

The mock-up grid, compiled by Rachel Hunn of Rebels Racing, shows defending champion Shay Murphy on pole position, with Liam Brown alongside him.

Danny Maddox lines up on the inside of row 2, next to the first female driver Nicole Emmett.

We share the full grid here, but remember this is just for fun as the points stand, and there's a long way to go before the big race itself.

We'll be checking in on the series throughout the season for more updates, as the countdown continues to Saturday 19 September at Mendips Raceway in Somerset - the first time the big race will be held in South West England.

The Weltch Media World-Wide Rebellion brings together the top 38 drivers from this popular oval-track series, with the highest-scoring drivers starting at the front on the big night.

Rebels are small-scale retro-style stock cars, which have entertained crowds on short oval tracks around the UK and mainland Europe since the 1990s.

The cars are single-seat racers, built to withstand the contact that comes with close racing on tight tracks, and with lightweight body shells modelled on a 5/8-scale replica of the classic Ford Popular.

This is the latest chapter in our long-time involvement in motorsport, which has included working on publicity and promotional campaigns for promoters and drivers over many years.

We've helped leading Legends Car drivers in both the UK and Irish Championships, as well as working with Mendips Raceway to publicise the Formula 2 Stock Car World Championship final.

In recent years, we've teamed up with national hot rod driver, Mark Shelper in his races around the UK, and with race-winning teams in international sim-racing. 

And this season, we've just started working with Tom Sutton in the UK Oval Track Legends Championship.
