An Australian-developed Ford Ranger Raptor has taken class victory in the 2022 BFGoodrich SCORE Baja 1000.
Locally-prepared by ex-Supercars team Kelly Racing in a program lead by Ford Australia, the debut of the Ranger Raptor in the event preceded the road-going model’s arrival in the North American market and was the first time a Ranger Raptor had entered the famed off-road desert race.
With a team of Australian and US-based drivers spearheaded by Colorado-based off-road legend Brad Lovell, the team achieved its goal of finishing the 1332km event 10 hours ahead of its 36-hour allotted time frame. Australian father-and-son combo Andy and Danny Brown crossed the finish line of the gruelling event.
