NEW YORK, N.Y.—SCORE International and Aura360 have jointly announced the release of the official DVD of the 2010 Tecate SCORE Baja 1000 desert race. The special collection DVD, celebrating last November’s legendary granddaddy of all desert races, will go on sale beginning Thursday via the internet. With almost 60 minutes of content (including race footage unseen in the NBC TV broadcast of the race) plus five additional bonus chapters, the colorful DVD will provide a comprehensive and memorable look at the 2010 race.
In a year when the course spanned the entire Baja peninsula for the 20th time in race history and dreams were made and broken across all 1061.69 miles, few teams would emerge unscathed as the 43rd annual Tecate SCORE Baja 1000 once again proved itself as one of the most grueling challenges in all of motorsports.
The coverage features the father and son team of Vildosola Racing as they attempt to rewrite history by becoming the first Mexican team to capture first ever overall and the SCORE Trophy-Truck victory.

Last year’s epic battle, with 292 starters leaving the Ensenada starting line, competitors from 37 states and 19 countries battled the rugged terrain in cars, trucks, motorcycles and ATVs in 33 Pro and 7 Sportsman classes. Vehicles left the start line in 30-second intervals and all vehicles had 45 hours to become official finishers of the race.
The 292 official starters represented the third highest number in the 18 years it has finished in La Paz and it was the 11th highest total in the 43-year history of the race. The 192 official finishers represented the third-highest number in the 18 years it has finished in La Paz and it was the fifth-highest total in the entire 43-year history of the event.
The finishing percentage this year was an amazing 64.7 percent considering the extremely dusty, bone-crushingly rocky and sometimes foggy conditions and the unique ruggedness of the course.
