The Baja 1000 route, as depicted on a Google Earth map. The off-road race begins November 10 in Ensenada, Mexico, and traverses 1,300 miles. Teams have 53 hours to complete the course. They cannot go more than 60 mph on the highway, and GPS tracks the teams to ensure compliance.
This year, a team from San Jose, Calif., known as Desert Dingo is entering the race's Class 11 (stock Volkswagens) with a 1969 VW Beetle tricked out with satellite phones and multiple GPS receivers. The team also plans to send Twitter updates from the road.
