NORRA To Host 10-Day Rally In Baja Spanning 1,400 Miles In 2027

Yahoo Sports

Source: NORRA The National Off-Road Racing Association (NORRA) hosts some of the best off-road racing on the planet. With varied terrain and courses plus an enormous variety of vehicles-- from UTVs to full-size race rigs to dirt bikes-- it's a fantastic spectacle that is helping champion the sport. With the organization's 60th birthday coming up, they're putting on an enormous event to celebrate.

Source: NORRA Racing will span ten full days (April 27 to May 8, 2027) and the course, instead of a traditional loop, is set up in a way that racers have to hit an end point and then double back on the same track, albeit going effectively the opposite way. It's slated to run from Ensenada to San José del Cabo, with the first six days including racing, the following two being "rest" days, and the final four will be to race back to the start point. The race is obviously still a long way out, and NORRA is hoping to use that time to solicit feedback from participants.

By entering the event, you can help the team design the actual track, structure classes, and even provide input on the end-of-event parties. Pretty cool if you ask us. Stay tuned as things develop, and mark your calendars for the 2027 Mexican 1000.
