Red Bull Motor Sports Racing

The Red Bull Mexican Logistics father/son team of Gus Vildosola Sr. and Gus Vildosola Jr. have repeated their 2010 Baja 1000 overall win, giving a Mexican national team the overall title for only the second time in the history of the race. They completed the 1,121-mile course in less than 20 hours, beating the two-wheeled riders to the finish line for the second time in the past three contests.
Gustavo, 59, and Gustavo Jr, 30, of Mexicali, Mexico, repeated the history they made in this race in 2010 when they became the first Mexican national team to capture the overall title in the granddaddy of all desert racing in their No. 21, Red Bull Vildosola Racing Ford F-150.

With Gustavo Jr driving large starting and finishing sections of the course and his father Gus driving a small section in the center of the course, the dedicated pair covered the exasperating course in 19 hours and 45 minutes, averaging a strong 56.79 miles per hour.


The Vildosola team also recorded the fastest time on the course for all vehicles, including motorcycles, which have recorded the fastest time in 36 of the 45-year history of the race.
298 starters leaving the Ensenada, Baja California starting line Thursday morning and as the finish line in La Paz, Baja Californa Sur closed Saturday morning at 10:01:30hr PST 174 official finishers had made it within the 45 hr. time limit.

With the 2012 Peninsula Run, the 45th annual Tecate SCORE Baja 1000, it was obvious that another memorable and colorful chapter had been added to the legacy of this popular desert race in the magnificent Baja California peninsula.
