Want to drive a real Trophy Truck
and race through the Baja desert
like the pros?
This is the one.
Without a clock, Baja is missing something. Add practice, qualifying, timed stages, penalties and a final classification, and every decision begins to matter. Orange Flint builds a private championship for four drivers, with coaching, co-drivers and a service team behind the competition. Learn the machine, find your pace and earn your place on the course.

Chapter I / Find your setup
Shakedown
The championship begins before anyone is fast. Fit the harness. Learn the controls. Set the seating position. Check communications. Understand what the truck does under braking, over rough ground and when the rear starts to move. The first kilometres are about making the machine predictable.
Chapter II / Driver development
Build the Pace
Once the truck becomes familiar, the work changes. Braking points move later. Lines become cleaner. Throttle matters more. You begin to understand where the truck can absorb terrain — and where forcing it simply costs time. Pace comes from control first.
Chapter III / Set the starting order
Qualifying
Then the clock becomes official. Each driver gets a timed qualifying run. No convoy pace. No following the truck ahead. The result determines the starting order for Race Day. This is the moment four participants become four competitors.
Chapter IV / Timed desert stages
Race Day
Race Day runs to the clock. Drivers leave separately and attack the timed desert stages at their own pace. Navigation, control points and penalties matter. Service is waiting between stages, but once the clock starts, the result belongs to the crew inside the truck. Every stage counts.
Chapter V / Record the result
Final
Classification
Stage times are added. Penalties are applied. Four drivers become four positions. The championship ends with one final classification — and onboard footage from every truck to show exactly where the time was won and lost.
Off the Clock
A private place to come off the clock. Eat well, rest properly and leave the next day’s preparations to the team.
When the timing stops, the machinery goes to service and the drivers come off the clock. Dinner is private, generous and close to where the next day begins. Gear is reset. Trucks are checked. Drivers eat, sleep and start again. The departure may use private rooms or a well-appointed tented camp. Comfort matters because tomorrow still counts.
Why Orange Flint
Your name. Your championship.
A championship named for your group, with personal race numbers and a closing awards ceremony. You and your guests are the field.
Your truck. Your crew.
A dedicated Trophy Truck and co-driver for every driver throughout the championship. Trucks will be prepared to a common competition specification, so your driving can make the difference.
Your own race film
Onboard cameras and a film crew follow the story from shakedown to the final awards. Your championship becomes a private race film, delivered to you.
The Quiet Layer
Behind the race is a logistics team we take pride in. Transfers, luggage, your private camp, chef-led dining and tomorrow’s preparations are seamlessly coordinated. You give the race your full attention. We take care of everything beyond the course.
Safety
Safety is always our first priority. Each departure will have a logistics crew and an accompanying medical team, with helicopter rescue on standby. Course and vehicle checks continue throughout; stages may be adjusted or paused when necessary.
