Engines Roar! Reaffirms Support for Off-Road Racing as a Pillar of BCS Identity

Motorsports in the state capital have received a major vote of institutional confidence. This May 2026, the mayor of La Paz, Milena Quiroga Romero, reaffirmed her administration's strong backing for off-road racing, labeling it a discipline that goes far beyond athletic competition, as it is deeply woven into the identity, culture, and traditions of South Californian families.

During working meetings with organizing committees, drivers, and motorsport promoters, the mayor pointed out that desert racing acts as an invaluable economic engine for the municipality. By traversing various rural towns and sub-delegations, these events stimulate local commerce, the hospitality sector, and services in rural areas, bringing direct benefits to communities that see the race traffic as a unique development opportunity.

Quiroga Romero emphasized that the main challenge in 2026 is to establish an off-road racing framework that is significantly safer and more sustainable. To achieve this, the La Paz local government will tighten coordination with Civil Protection, Public Safety, and environmental organizations, demanding strict adherence to spectator safety protocols and a rigorous commitment to repairing and cleaning the dirt tracks after the vehicles pass, ensuring that the passion for speed coexists harmoniously with the state's natural wealth.
