Next up: Baja 1000 starts and finishes in Los Cabos

Upcoming. Live. Just finished.

FAST 'N DIRTY

Updated September 15, 2026

Ensenada’s Baja 400 is in the books. SCORE’s World Desert Championship now points to Round 4 — the BFGoodrich Tires 59th SCORE Baja 1000, November 9–15, with Los Cabos as start and finish.

For the first time, the Granddaddy runs entirely in Baja California Sur — mountains, desert, and beach country south of the state line. SCORE says more than 220 teams from 18 countries are expected. Pre-running opens October 31. Green flag is November 13, with awards November 15, on a course of about 1,000 miles.

That’s the next SCORE desert appointment after Ensenada. Official details from SCORE International.
