The 2019 SCORE season is half-way over, but that doesn’t stop the planning for the 2020 season. SCORE recently released the four-race schedule for the 2020 race season along with new championship points rules.

“SCORE continues to build the operational and marketing assets of the SCORE World Desert Championship and our 2020 schedule will include the SCORE Baja Triple Crown races along with our newest race—the SCORE Baja 400,” said Jose A. Grijalva, President/Race Director of SCORE International. “Mexican races are the cornerstone of SCORE and to have all four races south of the border for the fifth consecutive season and fifth time in SCORE’s long history is a distinct honor and a wonderful privilege.”

“We welcome the challenge to continue to add to the illustrious SCORE Baja racing legacy,” Grijalva continued. “And finishing the iconic SCORE Baja 1000 in La Paz always attract racing extremists from around the world.”

In order to win a 2020 season class title, teams must race in all four races. This could now be seen across off-road racing sanctioning bodies as more races being separated and started. Per SCORE, “in the event that a driver/rider of record is unable to compete in an event, another SCORE member may act as the alternate driver/rider of record for that race if processed according to SCORE requirements. No alternate driver/rider of record will be allowed for the 53rd SCORE Baja 1000.”

Next year’s season once again is raced entirely in Baja California and the season culminates with a point to point Baja 1000. Many teams are looking forward to racing down the peninsula for the Baja 1000.
