Overview
- Tournament organizer SCORE International expelled the Red Bull–backed entry of Australian driver Toby Price from the Baja 250 in San Felipe, Mexico, citing unsportsmanlike conduct.
- Videos and technical notes shared online alleged that large rocks and logs were placed on the marked route to slow rivals, a practice officials say endangers racers and breaks core rules.
- Proceso reported that volunteers flagged suspected rock placement around race mile 52 before the start, and staff were sent to clear the hazards from the course.
- Price said the circulating video does not show him placing rocks, accepted the Competition Review Board’s decision, and said he will step back from Baja California events as he rethinks his Red Bull ties.
- Team principal Paul Weel said he does not condone the alleged conduct and has opened an internal review, while organizers have withheld the full technical file and media expect possible further sanctions or sponsor statements.
