What you need to know
The NORRA Mexican 1000 is a multi-day point-to-point off-road rally down the Baja California peninsula, blending vintage and modern classes at a touring pace with overnight stage stops. Many U.S. teams and chase crews prep and stage from the San Diego, CA area before crossing the border, and RVs serve as mobile bases for the drive south.

Safety + legal
International travel into Mexico requires valid documents, Mexican-side vehicle paperwork, and the appropriate cross-border vehicle coverage — confirm your rental's terms allow Mexico travel before committing. Remote Baja stages have limited fuel and services.
Insider tip
Base out of San Diego for the staging days, then follow NORRA's published spectator points instead of the race course itself — the overnight host towns are where vintage rigs and crews are most accessible.
