The final version of the Baja Endurance Challenge Series Final rules are available here.

The rules are designed to make sure every team has an equal chance at winning, strictly enforcing HPI parts only while allowing certain modifications that will help improve the durability of the Baja. In general, the Baja must remain relatively stock, although Baja SS options are allowed, as well as certain tweaks such as front window, shock covers, pullstarter cover, etc.

Qualifying racers from each EU country participating in the HPI Baja Endurance Challenge Series will be invited to attend in teams of 4 to 6 racers, using one car per team! Each participating country will have at least one racing team, making this a race for national pride as well as for bragging rights!

The number of qualifying teams that will be invited per country will depend on the number of races held in each country, and the number of racers per qualifying race. All of the qualifying teams will be invited to the Baja Endurance Challenge Series Final, plus they will get a great bonus package!

To find out where and when the qualification races will be, see the schedule on the main page for the Baja Endurance Challenge Series!
