March 28, 2018 (Agua Dulce, Calif.): Event organizers for the 2018 YOKOHAMA NORRA Mexican 1000 will be the first to tell you – putting together the logistics for a five day 1,300-plus mile romp through Mexico’s Baja peninsula is never easy. There are myriad of details to confirm, crews to assemble and a sombrero full of details to finalize.

The 2017 improvements that included two days of tech inspection/registration and the first overnight stop in San Felipe will continue. The significant change to the 2018 schedule will be that the legendary awards ceremony will take place the day after finishing in the San Jose del Cabo historic Plaza. A printed copy of the 2018 Schedule of Events will be provided to teams at registration in Ensenada. But you can go ahead and download a print PDF now, by clicking on the button below-

ABOUT NORRA

Beginning in 2010, the National Off Road Racing Association (NORRA) began promoting a rebirth of the NORRA Mexican 1000 rally. The unique off-road rally was co-created by promoter Mike Pearlman to consist of special stages (unlimited speed timed stages in the dirt) linked together by controlled speed liaison / transit sections (highway). The one-of-a-kind, once-a-year, four-day rally includes vintage off-road vehicles and motorcycles, as well as modern desert Rally Raid cars, pre-runner trucks, buggies and motorcycles.

Pearlman's late father Ed and others established the first running of the NORRA Mexican 1000 off-road rally in November of 1967, which eventually became internationally recognized and evolved into the Baja 1000 in the mid-1970's.

The 2018 NORRA Mexican 1000 is supported by Yokohama, Method Race Wheels, Walker Evans Racing, South Point Hotel Casino, Bilstein Shock Absorbers, Multitool USA, Mastercraft/Impact Safety, P.C.I. Race Radios, Cerveceria Transpeninsular, VP Racing Fuels, Steel-It, Ensenada Proturismo and many more.
