“Racing, where men are still children, rubber meets the dirt and the adrenaline is always pumping!” – ME

The most famous town along the race course is Ensenada, which is where the race typically starts and finishes. Ensenada is a beautiful coastal city with a rich history and culture. During the race, it becomes a hub of activity as racers and spectators from around the world converge on the city. There are often pre-race events and festivities in Ensenada leading up to the start of the race, which adds to the excitement of the event.
The race started in 1967 and was founded by a group of off-road enthusiasts who wanted to test their skills and vehicles in the rugged terrain.
