Desert Off Road Racing is the vehicle, literally, that allows us to become a part of this peninsula and its culture, to be someone that the locals look up to, yet they know that you understand what their land, and their passion is about.
And that is why, to us, Off Road Racing in Baja is not just a sport, it is a way of life!
A very integral & essential ingredient for a successful race team in the Baja 1000 is without doubt co-drivers and crew. The co-drivers not only have to be the second pair of eyes for the drivers but have to navigate and point out dangers or difficult sections.
Unlike Rally Racing, these are not 10 or 20 mile stages but continuous 300 to 500 mile sections per driver! They use notebooks, GPS and iPad systems like LEADNAV to help keep the drivers safe and on track.
The crew’s importance is not only on race day, where they have to be divided over the entire Peninsula in strategic places for pit and chase support, but the months if not almost an entire season to prepare and get the race vehicle ready for Baja!
This is so much more than a team of individuals, this is one family sharing one wish, one goal!
