The Abu Dhabi Baja Challenge by Abu Dhabi Sports Council (ADSC) in partnership with the Emirates Motorsports Organization in underway on Saturday (October 14). The fledgling four-wheel and two-wheel racing series will take place across four rounds, with Rounds 1 and 2 hitting the stage in October and December, followed by two rounds at the start of 2024. The Abu Dhabi Baja runs in a regional format, showcasing areas of Abu Dhabi rich with fandom and motorsport industry through off-road racing. While imitating the off-road format of its big brother, the ADDC, the Abu Dhabi Baja Challenge will take place around a lap – the winner completing the most laps within the time limit. These laps, totalling 100-120 km for both cars and bikes, will put competitors to the test both physically and mentally across the deserts of Abu Dhabi, allowing them to practice this extreme sport in a controlled environment.
