Three UTV friendly Rally-Raids launched for 2021including 6-Day BAJA RALLY, now in the ninth year of ops.
REVISED RULEBOOK includes UTV minimum requirements. Fuel range must be 190 km (120 mi) minimum
CATAVIÑA RALLY January 29 - 31
The first of three rally-raids for 2021 kicks off Friday, January 29th from El Rosario and will run more than 600 km of brand new, off road rally stages over 3 days with 2 overnight stays at Hotel Mision Cataviña (rooms not included in entry fees). After arriving in Cataviña from El Rosario Friday, racers will race a second day on Saturday on a brand new, loop stage in the Valle de Los Cirios. Finally on Sunday the final stage of 3 will race from Cataviña back to El Rosario.
SAN QUINTIN RALLY May 21 - 23
The May 21 -23 San Quintin Rally will follow the same Friday- Sunday format as Cataviña with similar mileages and also run into parts of the Valle de Los Cirios on the Saturday loop.
BAJA RALLY September 26 - Oct 2
The longest running rally raid in the western hemisphere is getting longer with a 6th day of championship-level rally raid stage racing to cap off the inaugural BAJA RALLY CHAMPIONSHIP SERIES. Traditionally a 5-day rally since 2015 the newly expanded, 6-Day Baja Rally will base out of Ensenada and include a Marathon stage in Bahia de Los Angeles, a first for Baja Rally, as well as stops in Cataviña and San Felipe.
A completely revised rulebook was just released that includes UTV provisions, new roadbook symbols and abbreviations that have been adopted globally by international rally races and sanctioning bodies. A new regulation announced by Baja Rally (Rule 3.9a) requires all competitors to rent the new Icom “Push to Talk” Satellite Radio from a single source provider Satellite Phone Store and replaces the requirement to carry a satellite phone.
“It might seem overly strict to require our racing clients to rent the same PTT sat radios from a single provider but there is good reason for it”, Scotty continued, “The radios need to be identical make and model using the same system and all programed into our network. The team at Satellite Phone Store makes it simple and extremely affordable and these new sat radios perform incredibly well in the field.”
The entry period for the Inaugural Cataviña Rally opened quietly on October 1
