Trophies unveiled for our big Rebels race

Tomorrow (Saturday 19 September) sees Rebels Racing's biggest event of the year - the Weltch Media World-Wide Rebellion - at Mendips Raceway, near Bristol.

And today, we can reveal the trophies, laurels, and bottles of Barigny, from Victory Lane Awards, which will be presented to the first three drivers in the world championship race.

The 30-plus men and women contesting the main event have reached the grid through a series of qualifying rounds, which put the highest scorers at the front.

Click here to see how they will line up on the Mendips Raceway oval high in the Somerset hills tomorrow.

Defending champion Shay Murphy starts on pole position, looking to become the first person to lift the title five times, as the big race comes to the South West of England for the first time.

You can see the full roll of honour of past world champions here.

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.

"It's a real honour for us to be involved with the biggest event on the Rebels Racing calendar," said Weltch Media's Andy Weltch.

"These trophies and garlands show what a prestigious race this is. We're all looking forward to seeing what happens when the green flag drops tomorrow!"

This partnership is the latest chapter in our long 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're also working with Tom Sutton in the UK Oval Track Legends Championship.
