SCORE International has announced that they have been forced to cancel the SCORE Baja Sur 500 that was originally scheduled to be held in April in La Paz, BCS, Mexico. The decision came when the government of Baja California Sur confirmed they were unable to honor their contractual agreement with SCORE.

“We are extremely disappointed but this decision is in the best interest of all concerned,” said Roger Norman, SCORE CEO/President, of the cancelled Baja Sur 500 race. “We have been informed that the BCS government is not able to honor the commitments they originally made for the event. We have been left with no choice but to cancel the race and we will proceed with a four-race SCORE World Desert Championship for 2016.”

“SCORE needs support from the various communities where races are held to make it possible to put on a race to our standard,” added Norman.
