SCORE race officials announced today that it has changed the dates for two of its four races in the 2021 SCORE World Desert Championship. The two races with new dates are the SCORE Baja 400 in September and the iconic season-ending SCORE Baja 1000 in November.
The series schedule was originally announced on Aug. 4 and SCORE announced today that it has pushed the SCORE Baja 400 back one week to Sept. 14-19 and the legendary SCORE Baja 1000 has been moved back two weeks to Nov. 15-20 the week prior to Thanksgiving in the United States instead of the week after the major U.S. holiday.
Featuring all four races in Baja California, Mexico for the sixth time in the storied history of the World’s Foremost Desert Racing Series, the events will all be taped to air domestically as well as being syndicated internationally to as many as 25 countries.
The 2021 season-opener will be held in San Felipe. Two others will be held exclusively in Baja California and the season-finale will start in Baja California and finish in La Paz, Baja California Sur. SCORE anticipates the announcement of the start and finish locations of two of the races and the start for the season-finale to be announced within the next few weeks.
