This is the part of the race I want to drive.

SCORE has released the preliminary GPS file of the Baja 1000, which means I’ve been flying the course in Google Earth.

If you want to see what the course looks like by “flying” it, here’s what you do:

  1. Download the KML version of the GPS track here.
  2. Launch Google Earth.
  3. Open the KLM file in Google Earth.
  4. On the Google Earth sidebar on the left, look for the “Places” section and under it look for “2013 SCORE Baja 1000”. Make sure the box mark next to it is checked.
  5. Click the small triangle to the left of “2013 SCORE Baja 1000” so that a menu appears underneath it. It looks like this:
  6. instructions-1
  7. Select the 1 Section A 19D-fil by checking the box next to it.
  8. Click this button lowerright which is in the lower right section of the Places section of the menu bar.

That should get you flying.

And here’s SCORE’s briefing on the course:
