North America Off-Road Racing 2026 — Baja 1000, SCORE International, and Ultra4 at the Front
The Rookie of the Year Race and the Realities of Japanese Driver Entry
North America's off-road racing scene has reached record highs in 2026 in both entries and viewership. SCORE International, with the Baja 1000 as its pinnacle, and Ultra4 — the celebration of heavily modified four-wheel-drive machinery — together define the current landscape. World Stage Journal maps the latest power structure.
The Baja 1000, organised by SCORE International and held each November across the Baja California Peninsula, is the world's longest off-road race. The 2026 edition ran a 1,342-kilometre route and set an all-time entry record of 327 vehicles. The performance gap between production-based classes and the Unlimited categories continues to widen: Trophy Truck Unlimited competitors now routinely average in excess of 150 kilometres per hour across the full course.
