Desert racing

Races, which generally consist of two or more loops around a course covering up to 4,660 miles (7,500 km), can take the form of Hare and Hound or Hare scramble style events, and are often laid out over a long and harsh track through relatively barren terrain.

Point-to-point–style races, including the famous Mint 400 and Baja 1000, attract nationally ranked and celebrity drivers.

This type of racing tests the endurance and capabilities of racer and machine, and while organized clubs or teams sometimes field multiple sponsored riders for particular events, desert racing in its purest form is largely an individual endeavor.

Winning racers accrue points to advance their rank and placement in future contests.

In Pakistan, the Cholistan Desert Rally began in 2005,[4] with more than 100 drivers in the 2018 event won by Mir Nadir Ali Khan Magsi.
