¡RALLY ALERT!
NORRA 500 Contingency, Start, and Finish Line Maps Released
NORRA has posted the staging, finishing and contingency maps online here. Course maps are only released at the beginning of the day because there is no prerunning allowed at NORRA. Make sure you check the maps and review the schedule of events to make sure you are able to be at the proper places according to your class and starting times. NORRA has separate courses for four wheeled competitors, bikes, and Meyers Manx Safari Expedition participants, so it’s important to know where you need to be.
The adventure begins before the green flag ever drops. NORRA participants enjoy special expedited border crossings for our group. Once registered online or during late registration at the event, you are added to our NORRA Discord app and a private NORRA group chat where teams connect, swap advice, ask for parts assistance, and even arrange to caravan south together. Instead of driving into Mexico alone, you roll into Ensenada as part of a convoy, traveling alongside fellow racers who are just as excited to experience Baja as you are. That sense of community starts at the border and carries through the entire event.
The NORRA 500 on October 9-12 in Ensenada, Baja Mexico offers an incredible Baja racing experience. Competitors will take the green flag at Rancho Nelson on day one of racing. After several challenging stages, the finish line celebration will be held at the historic Horsepower Ranch. The following day we move to the infamous Estero Beach short course track for the start with the day’s finish back at the resort at Estero Beach. In addition to the different eras of 4 wheeled race vehicles that span the entire history of off road racing, Bikes are back; they will enjoy the same start and finish lines, but run separate, bike only courses both days.
Everything you need to know about NORRA’s Baja Mexican 1000, and NORRA 500 can be found at www.norra.com Go to the site and find out for yourself why NORRA has exploded in popularity.
