Comunicato Stampa disponibile solo in lingua originale. 

BAJA, Mex., Nov. 22, 2020 – The Bronco #rrace Prototype, piloted by #cameronsteele, #shelbyhall and a team of veteran #ford off-road racers, finished the 53rd SCORE-International #baja1000 in Class 2 in just over 32 hours. The race adds to Bronco’s storied history at #baja dating back to 1967.

Sharing in the effort were co-drivers Johnny Campbell, Curt LeDuc and Jason Scherer.

“When Bronco returned we said it would follow in the legacy of the first-generation Broncos that forever changed the off-road landscape – and today’s finish demonstrates we’re continuing the ‘Built Wild’ pedigree of Bronco,” said #markrushbrook, global director, #ford Performance motorsports.

Powered by a fully stock #ford 2.7-liter EcoBoost engine and #ford 10-speed SelectShift automatic transmission, the Bronco #rrace Prototype serves as a testbed for Bronco Built Wild Extreme Testing durability regimen and for the final the #baja Mode calibrations for the Terrain Management System™ with G.O.A.T. Modes on the production versions.

A pre-production 2021 Bronco two-door Outer Banks™ series with Sasquatch™ off-road Package also made its first appearance in the #baja Mexico desert.

The successful finish underscores Bronco brand’s performance legacy at #baja, which includes the first-ever overall production 4x4 class win in 1969 #baja1000 – a feat no other manufacturer has accomplished since.

Overall, the first-generation Broncos claimed five #baja1000 class wins (1967, ’69, ’69, ’71 and ’72) and two overall #baja 500 victories in 1970 and 1973. Later model year Broncos (1978-95) continued the legendary winning streak with nine #baja 500 Class 3 wins from 2004 to 2015 and 15 #baja1000 Class 3 wins between 2002 to 2019.

Ford is the Official Truck and SUV of SCORE-International Off-Road #racing and lead sponsor of the SCORE World Desert Challenge Series, which includes the 2019-22 SCORE #baja1000 races. #ford is also official vehicle of the Ultra4 King of the Hammers competition. Together, they underscore Ford’s commitment to off-road motorsports and serve as a platform to develop the Bronco brand and connect with off-road enthusiasts.
