Puro Offroad

Armin get’s Armin! After his victory at the second leg of the SCORE offroad series at the San Felipe 250 in his class Armin Schwarz is getting team support. The first ever win of a German driver at the unlimited Buggy Class 1 in history of Baja and desert racing inspired the AMG team to start from the next race with another Class 1 Buggy. As driver is Armin Kremer, Rallye-European champ 2001 (Toyota) and Asia-Pacific-Rallye-Champ 2003 (Mitsubishi) announced. The next race, May 30th - June 1st. is the Baja 500 also”little Baja” called. Let’s see how Martin Christensen’s All German Motorsport Team performance is with 2 German drivers.

CLASS 1 ARMIN SCHWARZ, No. 104 (first) — Co-driver Martin Christensen, who finished the race, said: It’s an unbelievable day for the German team. It’s a very, very extreme course. We’re very excited about coming in first. Armin did a good job giving me the car. The car was much faster than we anticipated. (upon learning his team had won by 12 seconds) It’s fantastic. When you drive almost 250 miles and it comes down to 12 seconds, that’s just crazy. We had issues with the car and we knew we would be right on the edge, but we wanted to finish.

Project Baja is how Armin Schwarz, the All German Motorsport team and their partners dubbed their fascinating three-year motorsport programme in the USA. Schwarz, contester of 121 world rally championship rounds, ex-European champion and two-time German championship winner, tackles the most popular off road race series in America in 2007 – the SCORE International Off Road Racing Series. One of the most challenging races for the Eibach suspension springs. Eibach already supported Armin in his first Baja-1000 race last year.

Schwarz will initially contest three desert races in a 700+hp Class 1 Unlimited Buggy reaching 200 kph, run by the Califonia-based All German Motorsports team. The highlight of the year is the “Baja 1000″ from 10th to 16th November, run for the 40th time over 1,400 miles at full speed through the Baja Califonia Peninsula on the Gulf of Mexico. Through the pathless dessert, with high jumps and hard landings the springs are in full activity. Without the high-quality Eibach springs the full-race buggy would not survive.
