Win in Legends class of 2024 Baja1000

18 November 2024

Toyo Tires racer, Gustavo Vildosola Sr, won the SCORE Trophy Truck Legend class in last weekend's Baja 1000. The 71 year finished third overall, to take his #1L Ford Raptor to the top of the Legends Class.

His son, and fellow Toyo Tires competitor, 'Tavo' Vildosola, finished second overall just 5:51.355 behind Luke McMillin after 16 hours of racing across the deserts, beaches, and mountains of Baja California. His #21 Ford Raptor averaged 53.98mph for the race with tires, Open Country M/T , performing flawlessly.

Alan Ampudia was 4th overall and third in class in his #10 Ford Raptor Trophy Truck, also on Open Country M/T R tires.

Red hot favourite, having qualified in P1, Bryce Menzie was to experience mechanical trouble at just 28 miles. The steering suffered an issue and the team could not get a support truck in until most of the race had passed. Unfortunately this forced the team into the hard decision to retire for safety reasons and they ended with a DNF for ther 2024 race.

Toyo Tires applies the knowledge gained from extreme off-road racing to inform the development process of it's 4x4, SUV and Pickup tires.
