That looks more like trial tracks to me and frankly...4 days may qualify this for the hardest ever trial event but hardly the "toughest enduro event"...4 days and a short set-up is hardly comparable to weeks through thousands of miles of natural terrains.

While a real rally (Paris-Dakar...Baja, for example) requires serious endurance...4 days of laid out obstacle courses require more exacting skills found in trial riders more then enduro.

But awesome nonetheless...not trying to take anything away from their feat...just commenting on the classification of toughest enduro race


Just watched the 2012 Red Bull Romaniacs. Kendal Norman, 6 Time BAJA 1000 Champion, 5 Time BAJA 500 Champion, quote "hardest enduro Ive ever done"

+ from memory he wasn't even riding the pro trails, he was in the "expert" class which cuts the hardest bits off.

Halfway between an enduro race and a raid, Sardegna always poses a unique challenge to Cross Country Rally racers. Set against the breath-taking backdrop of the Sardinian countryside, we bring you all the action from the Sardegna Rally-Race.

The Italian stage of the Cross-Country Rallies world championship consists of five stages, nine Special Stages, a total of 1500 kms in a large circuit that touches San Teodoro, Arbatax, Oristano and San Leonardo,before returning to San Teodoro for the epilogue. This is the Sardegna Rally Race 2014....

Watched that video, it's incredible. This kid has surreal skills, he's flying over this tough terrain like it's a highway.

I'm also amazed by the amount of people walking about on the track...


Usually POV never looks that fast to me, but this is just flipping fast.

At one point he looks behind shortly after the start and there's nobody else in view.

Bloody impressive.
 
Just got round to watching them vids too... Great to see all the trails in the woods. Awesome ability. That GoPro must be bolted on...

True, you never get see them. They look technically harder than those down/up-hills around the start. Biggest problem with this race is if you're not in the first 2 waves there is no way to make it past the first uphill. It's basically a good race for the top 20 riders, and pretty much pointless for all the rest as they'll never make it past the first half.
 
BAJA RALLY ADDS NEW CLASS FOR ADV EXPERTS

BAJA RALLY OPENS “ADV EXPERT” CLASS
ENSENADA BAJA CA MEXICO http://www.bajarallymoto.com officially announced today the addition of an “Adventure Bike” class to the 2014 BAJA RALLY 2.0 taking place here this September 24-28. The new “ADV EXPERT” class includes modified adventure bikes ranging from 700cc-1000cc and is generally targeted toward BMW F800GS and KTM 990. There is also a strict approval process that both riders and bikes must complete before being officially entered. Applicants simply email their resume and references and will be screened for racing experience, overall skills and must be pre-approved prior to being given a riding number.

“The BAJA RALLY is no joke. It will be hard and safety is our top priority,” explained rally director Scotty Breauxman, “we have a subjective process for accepting riders into this new class and it was designed to include only the most qualified riders in the world. It’s not like any John Doe can just show up in Ensenada and enter the rally on a KTM 990. I think most riders would be overly challenged by the extra weight and I can’t see any advantage of riding a 990 over a 450 because the routes have some fairly technical sections.”

The perfect example of the prime target for the ADV Expert class is Canadian racer Radek Burkat who became the first entrant to be accepted into this new elite class. The well rounded Burkat had a noble showing at the King Of The Motos, a Baja 1000 finish and plenty of big bike riding experience. He also completed professional rally navigation training earlier this season.

“We’re particularly excited about expanding the field to include these big bikes and the expert riders,” Breauxman concludes, “This is an important group that keeps growing and getting more relevant. These are the same riders who will be following the stage routes as spectators of BAJA RALLY events several years from now.”

The “ADV”, or “adventure touring” segment is the fastest growing of any sub-market in the North American motorcycle industry and powered by 40-60 year old males with mean annual incomes of $80,000+. More information at ADV Moto Magazine

The BAJA RALLY is the first and only “road-book” navigation-based rally raid for motorcycles only In Baja CA, Mexico. Taking place over 5 days in Septemebr (24-28), the BAJA RALLY features 4 days of off-road rally motorcycle racing over 800 miles of timed special stages and non-timed transfer stages. Likened to a traveling, cultural human experience, the rapidly growing BAJA RALLY 2.0 is the closest thing to the Dakar Rally to take place in North America.
