The event will run out of Aqaba from November 14th-16th.
Speaking after the conclusion of the sixth round of the FIA World Baja Cup in Qatar, Zaid Balqez, Chairman of the Organising Committee, said: “We are really looking forward to hosting the Jordan Baja for November 14-16 with the finishing touches being put to what we expect to be an extremely challenging route. We place the safety of our competitors and visitors to the heart of everything we do and we can’t wait to welcome back our friends from the FIA World Baja Cup and the FIM Bajas World Cup.”
Both the FIA and FIM series are fought out over eight rounds and the Middle East will decide the outcome of both championships with drivers and riders now preparing to head to the final two rounds in Jordan and Dubai. The FIA Middle East Baja Cup is fought out over four rounds.
