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.

Waterfest Moves to Atco Dragway

Waterfest 24 will be held at Atco Dragway, in Atco, New Jersey. The summer event will take place at its new venue on July 21 and 22. Long held in Englishtown, New Jersey, the festival has been such a large part of the VW scene that the latest iteration of the Golf even comes with optional “Englishtown” wheels . The new venue, however, is an NHRA drag track a scant 52 miles southwest of Englishtown. The ¼ mile drag track opened in 1960, which makes it the oldest drag strip in New Jersey. The announcement came today on a social media post that announced the new location. Waterfest is North America’s largest VW/Audi show. As many 20,000 people show up for the annual show, making the second largest show in the world—with Worthersee being number one. 2018 will be Waterfest’s 24 th year in existence.

Macau Gets Messy with 16-Car Pileup

The Macau Grand Prix is always good for an accident or two or 16— you may remember Audi’s race ending crash last year —and this year’s event didn’t disappoint. It didn’t take long for things to get messy on the tight road circuit. On the opening lap of the qualifying race a 16-car pileup caused the race to be suspended. Things kicked off when Daniel Juncadella hit a wall on the exit of Police bend, one of the tightest parts of the already tight circuit. The following car of Raffaele Marciello was able to avoid the carnage, but Laurens Vanthoor, who was in the upside-down Audi that ended the race last year, could not avoid Juncadella and together they blocked up the road pretty much completely. “I couldn’t see him [Juncadella] at first. Then I saw the car standing still,” Vanthoor told Motorsport. “I tried to brake but it was just understeering and I couldn’t do anything. There’s room for one car there and you’re blind.” Fourteen more cars would eventually crash into the corner c

The First of its Kind: Integrated Engineering Releases Highly-Anticipated IE450T MK6 Golf R Turbo Kit

After two long years of development, the team at Integrated Engineering has finally announced the release of their IE450T kit for the MK6 Golf R. With their turbo kit bolted on right out of the box, the sport AWD hatch is transformed into a 450bhp monster, with hardly any noticeable increase in spool time. In fact, 435 ft-lbs of torque are achieved at all four wheels, at a mere 3300rpm! By now you are probably asking yourself how this is even possible on a 2.0L engine that made nearly half that power from the factory. By employing true twin-scroll technology into the cast turbo manifold and pairing it with a state-of-the-art BorgWarner EFR turbocharger, IE was able to keep spool time at a minimum and bring the fastest-spooling big turbo setup to the market. “We wanted to offer a kit that would dramatically increase the power output without making the car lose its amazing street-friendly drivability,” mentioned one of the IE engineers. We are told the IE450T leaves the car driving jus
