Pordenone, 9th May 2024_ It's officially time for the Fuoristrada Club 4x4 Pordenone to restart the engines.
Today enrollments are opening for the XXXI Italian Baja, taking place from the 4th to the 6th of July and valid both for the European Baja Cup and for the Italian Baja and Ssv Championship.
After the celebrations and the book on the 30th anniversary that defined 2023, a new chapter - ready to be written with never tamed enthusiasm - is here: off-road is a discipline that appreciates challenges and always looks behind the obstacle. This year the race will, as usual, be international, but the contestants will be coming only from the old continent because of an alternation criteria in the World Championship competitions. No problem in the FIA’s ranking, considering the fact that Mauro Tavella was just confirmed in the Cross Country Rally Commission, whose staff has been reduced and several members replaced. This shows how know-how, good relations and very good reports keep being key factors for the dialogue with the highest ranks of the Federation.
The Italian Baja 2024 doesn’t intend to unveil its secret until the days before the start, but it’s already clear that a double effort to compete against the competitors was made: the enrolling taxes were reduced by 15% and the race is concentrated just in two days, Friday 5th and Saturday 6th, with additional savings on travel costs. On Thursday 4th the sportive checks on crews and vehicles are planned, while on Sunday 7th the Fuoristrada Club will be busy on a sort of “Labour Day” to dismantle the headquarters in Pordendone’s Interporto Centro Ingrosso, logistic base of the competition for the fourth year in a row.
