Where to Watch the 2017 Baja 1000 Live

The 50th running of the Baja 1000 takes place this week and you can follow along live in many different ways.

The most direct way to follow the action is the official live stream from SCORE, the governing body that runs the Baja 1000. It is embedded at the top of this post for your viewing pleasure, or you can view it on their website. SCORE also has tons of information about the race on its website, such as course notes, a full list of registered drivers and more.

For those who want to track a specific team or racer, Trackleaders is hosting a coverage map which pinpoints exactly where each vehicle is and what speed they are traveling at. This coverage map also offers a replay function, handy for revisiting different happenings during the race. You can find that map right here.

You can also follow along with PCIRadios Weatherman north stream and south stream. A radio relay team on Diablo Mountain provides coverage for the north end of Baja, while an airplane provides radio relay in the south. Because it is a plane that needs to refuel and is weather dependent, radio relay in the south can be intermittent.

Social media is also a great option for following individual race teams and drivers. First of all, the folks at the Fishgistics Facebook page do a great job of keeping everyone informed. Our very own Off-Road.com twitter feed, which we will keep up to date with Baja 1000 live updates throughout the race.

Then there are all the individual racers you should be following on social media. Here’s a quick list of racers who will likely be posting all kinds of Baja-tastic photos on Instagram that you should be following.

If you know of other Instagram feeds or ways to follow the race from home, please post them in the comment section. We will be doing our best to bring all the action to you as soon as it happens.

Review: Saying Goodbye to the CC V6

For all its size and its global reach, Volkswagen is still, in many ways, a deeply human company. There was, for instance, the Bugatti Veyron an ego project if ever there was one. Then the purchase of Ducati, a move most called folly. And then there was the Phaeton, the Volkswagen that most folks can’t afford. Not only were these moves all strange, I’m sure that they made VW’s accountants furious. None of them made good business sense, but they were all deeply interesting and they all are evidence of the heart that beats at the center of VW. Among these follies is the CC, a car that everyone agrees is rakishly handsome, but that no one really wanted to buy. The car couldn’t last, but the world is brighter for its having been in it. With the approach debut of the Arteon, it seems like a good time to look back on its sadly departing predecessor. The version I drove, because I live in Canada, is a V6 Wolfsburg Edition, which apparently isn’t available in the States. Nor is the V6, not as...

T-Prime Makes World Premiere at Beijing

[ See image gallery at www.vwvortex.com ] The SUV segment is one of the fastest growing segments in the world and Volkswagen is showing the world how to do it. With the new T-Prime Concept GTE that was revealed today, the company is showing off all of the technology you can look for in its coming models. The T-Prime is a full-size hybrid SUV that can go up to 31 miles on a charge and gets 87 mpg. The hybrid power station is good for 375 hp and 516 lb/ft of torque and puts the power down with 4MOTION all wheel drive. It’ll get you up to 60 in six seconds. The concept’s real party piece, though, is its interior, which features exclusively touch, gesture, and voice controls. Everything from the infotainment, to the display, and even the gears are controlled by touch-screen. The T-Prime Concept GTE is bigger than the Touareg, and design elements are likely to find their way into all of their SUVs, of which there will be many. Volkswagen is also announcing that they expect to make an S...

Audi Teases the e-tron’s Headlights Ahead of LA Reveal

Audi will unveil its new electric car, the e-tron GT, in just a few short days, but until then, it will do what manufacturers can’t help but do and will tease it mercilessly. The latest teaser images first appeared on Germany’s Bild , and feature some of the EV’s lighting. While the taillights look reasonably familiar, albeit on an interesting, angular surface, the headlights feature a heretofore unseen light shape. The X-shape (or maybe an R-shape, from the right angle) in the middle of the e-tron GT’s headlights set it apart from the rest of the lineup, even the e-tron SUV (whose lights look R8-ish with their angular check-shaped top line.) #Sneak Peek: the #Audi #etron GT concept – stay tuned for the big #world #premiere on November 28. pic.twitter.com/NIg0z6bIwR — AUDI AG (@Audi_Press) November 25, 2018 The long and low sedan will be based on the same platform as the Porsche Taycan, which is said to hit 60 mph in just 3.5 seconds and whose batteries will all be stowed...
