ABOUT NORRA

Dubbed the “Happiest Race on Earth,” the unique off-road rally was co-created by promoter Mike Pearlman in 2010. The one-of-a-kind, once-a-year, three-day rally includes vintage off-road vehicles and motorcycles, rally cars, a limited number of modern desert racecars and classes for prerunner trucks and buggies. Pearlman’s late father Ed and others established the first running of the

NORRA Mexican 1000 off-road rally in November of 1967, which eventually became internationally recognized and evolved into the Baja 1000 in the mid-1970s. For 2013, the NORRA Mexican 1000 will take place from April 27- May 1 and travel from Mexicali to Los Cabos, Baja Mexico with overnight stops in Bahia De Los Angeles, Loreto and La Paz. Although the spotlight will remain squarely on vintage machinery, NORRA has added several new categories for modern and vintage rally cars as well as some for modern desert racing machinery, 4x4s, dune buggies, and ATVs and motorcycles of all types and ages. Each day of the rally consists of special stages (unlimited speed timed stages in the dirt) linked together by controlled speed liaison transit sections (highway). Registration is now open to automobiles and motorcycles that meet basic safety standards as outlined the new NORRA rulebook (currently available at the www.mexican1000.website.

Moto Competitor Details For 2025 NORRA Mexican 1000

NEW COURSE, SAME PRO PURSE, DIGITAL ROADBOOKS, GREATER RANGE.

For 2025 we plan to keep the same style, difficulty and tempo of the motos course. Less beat up road and trails with a fun flow using straightforward roadbook navigation that will be doable by a good rider on any type of off-road capable motorcycle (or Three Wheeler) that meets the requirements and will pass tech inspection. Though we make the course doable by a single rider, NORRA will still allow teams in the non-pro motos classes. But be advised that the days are not constructed with this in mind and changing riders may be difficult on days. Like last year and assistance and rider changes will only be allowed in designated areas or zones on the course.

This is a race and not a tour. For safety (like last year, but more defined) we will impose strict closing times for Control Points and if riders are late they will not be allowed to continue on that day and be assessed a hefty time penalty for the course they did not complete.

The $10,000 Pro Purse is back for 2025, paid to the top three placing Pro Rally Class riders. There needs to be a minimum of 5 paid entries in the Pro Rally Class. Our top placing Solo Amateur rider will be offered a free Pro Rally class entry for 2026. We are actively seeking enhancements from sponsors to boost these prizes for 2025. Additionally we are pushing very diligently to have a dedicated MOTOS Media team for 2025 as well.

We will continue to use (if needed) longer Highway transfer sections to skip less desirable areas and concentrate on better riding. Non-Pro riders will be allowed to load and transfer in these sections if they choose. Like last year our course will be much different than the cars course and attempt to minimize bike-car course sharing.

Welcome everyone to the 2025 NORRA racing season! There have been several changes at NORRA in order to continue providing the best Baja racing adventures in 2025. That’s why it’s important for everyone to attend our Pre-Registration zoom meeting for the 2025 Mexican 1000.

The zoom meeting will take place on Monday, December 30th at 7:00 pm Pacific time. 🔗LINK: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/83587837702?pwd=5qYRhrwU8SLcA70I5Mvdd3quQWKgIj.1 🔗

The zoom meeting will give you the details and also allow you to directly interact with NORRA staff if you have any questions about the race. 2025 will be another amazing year for NORRA; registration opens on January 1st 2025 at 12:00pm Pacific time at www.norra.com.

No other racing series has a more diverse field of cars, trucks, buggies, motorcycles and UTV’s competing. NORRA entries span the entire history of over 50 years of offroad racing. In order to accommodate such a diverse collection of race vehicles, the overall classification structure is determined by the era of racing the vehicles competed in. That way, competitors can be matched against similar vehicles and bikes that all have the same technology. NORRA also has the Meyers Manx Safari Expedition which is for modified street legal vehicles. The Safari Expedition is a guided tour that follows parts of the race course, but also takes in some points of interest, and great food along the way.

NORRA created sanctioned off road racing in Baja back in 1967. Everything you need to know about the Mexican 1000 and NORRA 500 can be found at https://norra.com. Go to the site and find out for yourself why NORRA has exploded in popularity. You can experience the same wonder and sense of achievement those early thrill seekers sought in the 1960’s today when you join NORRA in Baja. Don’t miss out on the competition and adventure of racing in Baja.

Get ready for the rally off road race of a lifetime with NORRA at the Mexican 1000 April 24 - May 2!
💻Registration opens January 1, 2025, at Noon pacific! Create your profile on the NORRA website so you can make your registration simple and easy on January 1st.

The 2025 Mexican 1000 is 6-days of rally racing down the Baja peninsula from Ensenada to San Jose del Cabo. For 4-wheeled race classes, the smaller towns like Bahia de Los Angeles and San Ignacio are limited on hotels. It is ideal to register early for the Mexican 1000 because rooms in those two towns are sold based on your entry order - first come, first served - one room per team until sold out. Not to worry, NORRA has camping available in the bivouac for both locations as well!

On November 3, 2024, Mike Pearlman — the visionary behind the modern NORRA experience — took his rightful place in the Off Road Motorsports Hall of Fame! ✨🌵

Mike didn't just revive NORRA in 2010 with Eliseo Garcia — he reinvented it. Taking his father’s legendary 1967 Mexican 1000 blueprint, he transformed it into the iconic NORRA Mexican 1000, celebrating vintage racing, good vibes, and Baja magic. 🏁

From the roar of Big Oly to the wild spirit of the Rippin’ Rooster, and legends like Robby Gordon, Walker Evans, and Ivan Stewart tearing through the desert — Mike's vision has kept the heart of off-road racing pounding. 💥🔥

Mike Pearlman, you didn’t just create *The Happiest Race on Earth* — you made history. 🏅 Congratulations on this incredible achievement! 👏
🎥: Marty Fiolka & Bryan Lambert
