This licence-free off-road event is intended for all amateurs and semi-professionals, who want to face the challenge of a fair competition for their vehicles and themselves after a long winter break for mechanical tinkering. The intention is a long weekend of fun, adventure and action, and the sporting challenge is comparable with other BAJA events. The BAJA SAXONIA is run on unsurfaced roads through an opencast mining landscape in the heart of central Germany. The driver and co-driver must give their all over 400 km of timed stages and should of course never forget the friendly relations with the other competitors. Everyone needs help at some time! 

The BAJA SAXONIA is supported by the members of the 4x4 Club Leipzig, who have built up plenty of experience in the last 15 years, above-all through active participation in diverse rallies and are known for the holding of the German Off-road Championship in 4-hour racing.

The event can offer an interesting and challenging programme. It takes place near Leipzig. The event is a rally to overcome of two daily stages of different lengths, which are driven according to a road book, with the final finishing time deciding the winners and losers. According to the weather situation, some passages can be similar to a trial, although most parts can be driven quickly. The timed stages do not pose impossible challenges, but could show some drivers and their vehicles their limitations!

As part of this event, a round of the UEM Baja European Championship for motorcycles and quads will be run for the first time. This offers all amateurs the chance to measure themselves against leading European riders and meet them close-up.

Of course there will be a heated festival tent with appropriate entertainment and catering during the entire event. This year, there will also be a VIP area in the spectator area within the course. A limited number of VIP ticket are available for this. (Link to more info)

The competitors stay in a camp near the small town of Hohenmölsen. The camp can be reached along a public road so that service vehicles can also reach this location without four-wheel drive. Each person is responsible for their own tent and personal hygiene, with public toilets being provided by the organisers. It should be pointed out that trucks over 7.5 t are forbidden to drive on Sundays and public holidays. Special exemption permits can be applied for with the organisers until the 31/03/2010 (Link to the application form)
