50th Anniversary of the Baja 1000

2017 marked the 50th anniversary of arguably the toughest off-road race in the World! Stretching from Ensenada to La Paz, racers travel across some of the most intense terrain this planet has to offer along the Mexican Peninsula.
No matter the obstacles that lie ahead, all of the racers have one thing on their mind... WINNING!

[@omieboriboun9862]

Congrats on Trophy Truck #1, a non-sponsored team beating the big name factory sponsored team with big name drivers and bigger budgets. Talk about being the underdog.

Wow

[@WeaponsEducation]

I raced the Ocala, FL Enduro, row 3, on my line was Larry Roeseler and Ty Davis, late 1990's! Larry amazed me at every check, he stranded on his pegs as if he was talking to someone, almost at a dead stop, in line waiting to get scored. After a grueling 80 plus miles he never sat on his seat even one time in that deep sand whoops. I won my class that day, trying to keep up with those amazing athletes.

To me the real heroes are the dudes on bikes, they don't have a co driver, they don't have helmet ventilation and cooled jackets. They don't have 4 wheels with 3 feet of suspension travel. It's just them, a bike and a big tank of fuel.... and some gynormous balls.

It's got to be pretty hardcore in the vintage classes as well. Class 5 VW, with virtually no suspension and low HP...

[@philz9835]

c warner, not sure what class 5 is, but I'm thinking class 11 is the roughest craziest dudes out there in a car. A bone stock vw, 60 mph non stop. Crazy bastards

From my perspective view, I believe that the Baja 1000 is far out the most legendary race in the world. My dream would be is to see a live event. Just the atmosphere would be astronomical and breathtaking. My respects to all races testing they're endurance and test out new racing technology. Take care and God bless!!!

"Due to a speed violation." Tell it like it actually is - they were reckless and severely injured a spectator at the finish line.

[@FirstFamilyCharger]

Fucking hell seriously? I was kind of pissed because that just screams stolen win but shit. Then again how much is it truly their fault. Fans get retarded at the 1000

[@falconemoto6943]

They love wheelies down in Baja, if you guys are referring to the accident with the Honda team. The guy pulled a wheelie at the finished line and the road was slippery he slid out and I think someone broke their leg or something like that. It’s a bummer, but it’s a great example of never celebrating to early.

[@chloehennessey6813]

Falcone Moto Someone didn’t break their leg. The Honda teams motorcycle broke their leg when it skidded in to the fans.

My boy and I about to start building a truck. We have given ourselves 2 years to get it ready and tested. No sponsors or anything. Just 2 oilfield guys. We just want to finish and the glory of doing it all. No swapping of drivers or anything. 🤟🏽

[@mrbratt69]

I wish I had the money to do this kind of racing. It's impressive what the drivers and crews do in order to finish the race let alone do well enough for top positions. I agree with what the trophy truck drivers say when it comes to the guys on bikes racing. I wouldn't want to be one of them on the course with trucks flying by me. I think the guys on the bikes are the most hardcore racers.

[@Supperdude9]

It is the "purist" route though. The Baja was initiated by Honda to prove their bikes could handle offroad terrain. The original Baja race was just two Honda motorcycles driving the peninsula to prove that those bikes were tough enough, and it grew from there. So, sure, it's crazy, but it's the original Baja.

[@amero3577]

we need more baja games. the only good one is baja: ege of control

[@yavapaircclipsoff-road25]

Amero I agree, the ultimate for me is changing the settings for the trophy truck, first I go to options then go to driver physics and turn the traction off, second I go to the garage and change the suspension to the highest ride height as possible with the grippiest tires as possible change it to manual transmission and make the shocks donkey kick on the rear end, and put on the worst Cooling, the weakest breaks, then I go race the Baja 1000 on time trial with vehicle damage on full and tree collisions on all, then start the race with first person view and no GPS then just try to not wreck, overheat, or wear out your brakes the entire Thousand Miles. It's a steep learning curve but it makes you drive your f****** ass off.

[@yavapaircclipsoff-road25]

James I don't think you understand the concept of the challenge or the games time trial mode.

[@brianbirc]

LMAO yes the reason I stayed in it is Baja is a part of my family etc... COME ON CAMERON The reason you stay in it is being in the position of racing a TROPHY TRUCK off road. How could you walk away from that situation? I have a prerunner I built and am very stoked driving it. Having a Trophy Truck etc.. would be unbelievable. Just a ride in one would be a life long great memory.
