help SCORE Baja 1000 FAQ
Does the SCORE Baja 1000 always cover exactly 1,000 miles?
No. Its route and distance change by edition, and the race may use a loop course or a point-to-point run down the Baja California Peninsula. The Baja 1000 name identifies the event rather than guaranteeing an exact 1,000-mile measurement.
What vehicles race in the Baja 1000?
The field includes motorcycles, quads, production-based vehicles, buggies, and purpose-built Trophy Trucks. SCORE separates them into classes because a motorcycle and an unlimited truck have very different speed, suspension, and mechanical characteristics.
Why do Baja 1000 teams use multiple drivers and chase crews?
Competitors may spend many hours crossing desert, mountain, silt, and rocky terrain, so some teams divide driving duties at planned stops. Chase crews travel on public roads to deliver fuel, tires, repairs, and replacement parts where race rules permit.
How is the Baja 1000 related to the Baja 500?
Both are major events sanctioned by SCORE International and held in Baja California, Mexico. The Baja 500 is the shorter companion race, while the Baja 1000 is typically the season's longest and most famous endurance test.
