Last year's race was a gigantic success: held in Spain, in the lovely Catalunya area just west of Barcelona, the racers stayed in a glamourous 4-star hotel and had a wild time racing for 12 straight hours through conditions ranging from dry and dusty to soaking mud, plus dealing with changing light as they ran from noon to midnight! THE 2009 HPI BAJA ENDURANCE CHALLENGE SERIES FINAL This year it's all change - BIG change! For 2009, we've gone even BIGGER, with MORE EXCITEMENT, MORE RACING and a BIGGER VENUE for racing! And we can't forget THE DATE: 4-6 SEPTEMBER! This year's Baja Endurance Challenge Series Final will take place in Germany near the infamous 'Green Hell' of the legendary NURBURGRING NORDSCHLEIFE racing circuit! The racing will be TWENTY-FOUR HOURS of magnificent action, featuring both the Baja 5B buggy and 5T truck! Up to THIRTY TEAMS will take part, from countries all over Europe! The track itself will be a CUSTOM-BUILT OFF-ROAD CIRCUIT, designed just for this one race, on the grounds of a real FULL-SIZE OFF-ROAD AREA where jeeps and trucks climb hills, blast through mud and blaze trails through the woods! After the thrilling qualifying race, members of every team will be able to take part in FULL-SIZE OFF-ROADING right next to the Baja track! Before the pre-race RACER'S BANQUET, everyone will have the opportunity to take in the fabulous and brand new 'GREEN HELL' ENTERTAINMENT AREA right on the steps of the Nurburgring Grand Prix circuit, which features a thrilling speed ride, karting track, beer halls, dance clubs, restaurants and much more!
