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.

Watch: The Stig Drives (nearly) Seven Generations of Golf GTI

With Volkswagen announcing “major” updates to the Golf, it seems an appropriate time to look back on what we’ve had so far. And who better to guide us through the rich history of the most popular European car ever made than Ben Collins, the former Stig? Some say he’s never met a GTI he doesn’t love, and that he can’t grow any of his own facial hair. All we know is … Ben Collins is actually a pretty solid presenter. Working his way through seven generations of the GTI (skipping over the Mk6) Collins tells us a little bit about each one and matches each mark to its corresponding facial hair craze. The Mk1 GTI for instance, is light and quick, but can lose traction under hard acceleration (in heavy rain). Despite that, Collins calls the Mk1 a “pure gem.” The Mk4, meanwhile, is a powerful return to form after the perhaps too sensible Mk3. Collins ends in the only way he could, with the Mk7, which accelerates faster than a Lamborghini Countach and is all kinds of wonderful. Watch, ...

Watch: The Story of the Ads that Made VW Big in America

The ads for the original Beetle are almost as famous and well-loved as the Beetle itself. Looking back now it’s easy to forget, though, just how easily things could have wrong. A new short from Dial M Films tracks the history of those early Volkswagen ads that sold America on the people’s car. The story, of course, begins with the visionary agency that made the ads: Doyle Dane Bernach (DDB). As a popular agency for Jewish products, no agency was more aware of the implications of Volkswagen, and no one, it seems, was more skeptical of the brand than DDB. “Remember Those Great Volkswagen Ads?” from Dial M Films on Vimeo . William Bernbach, though, was adament that the firm take the client, probably as a way of attracting other lucrative automotive clients. Saddled with a client that he didn’t want, art director Helmut Krone says in the film that he originally came up with ads that were all wrong. Krone tried to do what other manufacturers did and was intent on selling the Beetle ...

Watch: The Zerouno Cruis’n USA

ItalDesign is drumming up excitement for its new supercar based around the same 5.2-liter Audi V10 that powers the R8. Naturally, it hit the road for a cruise around California last week to celebrate Monterey Car Week. There isn’t much in the way of V10 noise—which is a real shame given the sound it makes—but you do at least get a good look at the car inside and out in this video. With a body made entirely of carbon fiber and designed to be as aerodynamic and light as possible, ItalDesign figures that it will be good for a 0-60 time of just 3.2 seconds. “We put it our best skills into the production of the first car,” said Massimo Bovi, head of pre-series production, when the Zerouno was first unveiled in Geneva earlier this year. “Using some of the finest productions methods and engaging our high-skilled workers.” The car features clever aero tricks gleaned from single-seat racing, like a y-duct up front to improve downforce and turn-in. Available in a number of trim levels, the...
