Start your trophy truck engines
Gentlemen, start your trophy truck engines! The offroad show of superstars is ready to roar in the Lausitz! The purpose-built track is finished, the fan mile is a go, the pilots are here in Germany, all race cars are ready to roar, over 30 drivers from 13 countries compete, fan areas are ready for action and parties. This coming weekend the BAJA 300 POWERDAYS Germany (24 – 26 July 2009) takes off into Europe’s largest and most extraordinary offroad action show. North of Dresden in Germany’s Lausitz region, a 2,350 metre gravel track was created during the last weeks. Here, stars from the infamous US Baja desert races display what they can do with their up to 850 hp machines. Flying in from Los Angeles with the heros of the American fans is Sal Fish, CEO and President of the world’s most important offroad association SCORE International. From the World Rally Championship come top pilots with their high-tech World Rally Cars and S2000 lightweight racers. Motocross and freestyler bikes with world renowned drivers guarantee breathtaking action.
Over 30 drivers from 13 countries – including many world champions, Indy winners, Dakar victors and national champions – offer fans two days of spectacular feats with hair-raising engine sounds, non-stop slides, high speed sprints and above all spectacular airborne antics from the numerous launching ramps scattered around the track. Up to six vehicles at a time are at the limit on the track.
The track, camping ground and car park are nestled over a huge area, where fans – and this is the philosophy of the BAJA 300 POWERDAYS – have access to all areas. In the open paddock, they can peer over the shoulders of mechanics or talk shop with stars. Everything that’s interesting for offroad fans can be seen in the fan mile. Not only can enthusiasts enjoy the offroad action in all its spectacular glory from the grandstands. With a little luck in a lottery or ‘stickability’ in the bucking bronco competition, several fortunate people can win a ride as co-driver in a race car.
And in the evenings the action continues: it’s party time! On Friday, celebrate at the Mexican Baja Night and get a taste of what it’s like in Baja California, home of the spectacular US and Mexican desert races. On Saturday it’s all on for fans and motorsport stars at the After Race Party. It’s not just about hot rhythms, but there’s also a mega-jump contest for race cars and motorbikes with leaps of up to 70 meters – goose bumps guaranteed!
