The HPI Baja Endurance Challenge is the premiere event for large-scale HPI racers across Europe!
It is made up of several HPI Baja-only races organized by HPI distributors around Europe and the UK, with the winning teams from each country invited to an epic 24-hour off-road endurance race to crown the overall Baja Endurance Challenge champions!
The ultimate attraction of the HPI Baja Endurance Challenge is that teams of racers from various countries compete head-to-head with essentially stock HPI Baja 5B buggies, and the team members must work together to not only drive the car as quickly as they can, they must also keep the car together so it can cross the finish line!
At the end of the Final race, dusty, greasy and tired, all of the teams are able to look back on the hardship and frustration and still smile, knowing they've taken part in something only a few people in the world can ever experience!
   
The Baja Endurance Challenge has been running for several years, in countries across Europe, on purpose-built large scale tracks that are custom-made for deciding who is the ultimate Baja champion!
The Final race has always been exciting, with the winners often decided in the closing minutes of the race, and have stretched teams to the breaking point and beyond!
Read up on all the action that's happened at previous Baja Final races!
