The SCORE San Felipe 250 races return to Baja California attracting top off-road racers from around the world, including teams from the United States, Canada, New Zealand, England, and Ecuador. The 280.2-mile route is one of the four races that make up the SCORE World Desert Championship. This year's race will feature more race teams than any previous year in the race's 34-year history, including the first all-electric entry from Lordstown Motors.
The Lordstown Motors Endurance trophy truck will be running to prove that the start-up electric vehicle maker can build an electric truck that is just as tough and capable as its gas and diesel counterparts. With less than 50% of the entries crossing the finish line, Lordstown Motors will have proven a lot by just completing the legendary race.
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic and travel restrictions, all race week activities and access to the start/finish line will be closed to the general public and only accessible for essential race crew and personnel. Baja California State, Municipal and City officials are working closely with SCORE to ensure safety protocols are in place for all racers and crews, including mandatory face mask coverings, social distancing, and increased sanitation at hotels and restaurants.
Race fans can experience the action virtually via extensive coverage available online at www.scoremediahouse.com/en. The race will later be televised on ABC Sports and ESPN for viewers in the U.S. and across the world in 25 different countries including Asia, Europe, and South America.
