There's no fee for a driving crew consisting of a pilot and co-pilot, to enter the Dakar Challenge during open registration. Participants are required to complete the 47th Bud Light SCORE Baja 500. "The Dakar Challenge was initiated to help provide a wonderful new opportunity for talented up-and-coming SCORE racers to have the possibility of competing in one of the most popular motorsports events in the world," said Roger Norman, SCORE CEO and President.
