New for 2012, NORRA has restructured the Vintage categories and expanded the Evolution categories. There is now a full suite of categories for rally cars. The expanded Evolution categories welcome racecars, motorcycles and ATV's of any type or age. 4 wheel vehicles (including the prerunner categories) will need to meet basic safety standards including a full cage, fuel cell, window nets, racing seats and 5 point harnesses.

NORRA has reserved all rooms in Bahia de Los Angeles and these will be allocated to race teams when the event registration is paid.
