Viva Skeg Vegas! Rebels chase a place on the big-race grid

The race for a place on the grid at the Weltch Media World-Wide Rebellion heated up at the weekend.

The Rebels Racing series was at Skegness Raceway in Lincolnshire - sometimes dubbed 'Skeg Vegas' - for the latest world qualifying round.

After yesterday's (Sunday 21 June) points were calculated, defending champion Shay Murphy leads the chase on 339 points, well ahead of Liam Brown (on 217), Danny Maddox (216), Nicole Emmett (198), and Ryan Leech (195).

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.
