I've never seen quads race in it, but i think they are adding them this year. Thats is one tough race though. its one of the hardest in the world, I think I saw where it is 6500 miles, way harder that the BAHA 1000. Bikes, buggies, heavy trucks race in it. Someone always expires too, or comes close to it:eek:

I saw it on OLN. They had some DS650s and some custom euro quads. Don't know the riders though.

I think it is 6000 miles. Yesterday(I think) I was watching it and there was a shee with a street bike motor and what looked to be a stock DS baja edition.
