Behind the Brand - Meet Tony Warner, Dealer Principal of Warner INEOS Grenadier
We’re continuing our Behind the Brand series with Tony Warner, Dealer Principal of Warner INEOS Grenadier, a familiar presence on the Rebelle course in just a few short years.
From early participation to supporting multiple teams, Tony and the Warner INEOS Grenadier team have steadily grown their involvement. Along the way, they helped bring the first INEOS Grenadier to the podium and continue to support competitors through vehicle prep, logistics, and on-course support.
In this conversation, Tony shares what drew him to the Rebelle, what that podium moment meant, and why community and long-term commitment matter more than any single result.
Read on to hear Tony’s perspective on the Rebelle…and what keeps him coming back!
Rebelle U Presented by Pennzoil is hitting the road with 2026 training opportunities designed to build real-world 4×4 driving and navigation skills—open to the public, not just Rebelle competitors.
Each class is an event unto itself. These hands-on, immersive courses are designed to build confidence, sharpen decision-making, and prepare drivers and navigators for real-world terrain.
Choose from:
- 4-Day Driving & Navigation Intensives
- 2-Day Standalone Driving or Navigation Courses
- Navigation + Rebelle Trials in the Imperial Sand Dunes
- Sand Dune Driving Intensives for stock 4WD & AWD vehicles
For those planning to compete in 2026, Rebelle U courses are required. For everyone else, it’s the opportunity to train early, learn from experienced instructors, and build skills that go far beyond the rally!
One No-Tech Hour
Give yourself one hour this month with no tech navigation. Grab a paper map, find north, and practice orienting the map to the terrain around you. It’s a low-pressure way to build the instincts that matter when you’re tired, rushed, or out of service. #LongMayWeDrive
Parting Shot
The year doesn’t start loud. It starts with direction.
