The Ford Raptor T1+ will make its North American competitive debut at the 30th Casey Folks Vegas to Reno on August 13–16. The factory rally-raid vehicle, developed by Ford Performance and M-Sport for the FIA World Rally-Raid Championship and Dakar Rally, will be driven by Mitch Guthrie Jr. with co-driver Kellon Walch.
The 500+ mile race across the Nevada desert will also become the longest continuous competitive stage the Ford Raptor T1+ has tackled since its debut. This year's edition will be run in the reverse direction for the first time in the event's history, starting in Reno and finishing in Las Vegas.
Matt Martelli, CEO of Unlimited Off-Road Racing:
“Having the Ford Raptor T1+ come over and race with us is an incredible opportunity to connect the world of rally-raid racing with American desert racing. We hope this is just the beginning of welcoming more international teams and entries to compete in America's premier desert races in the years ahead.”
Kristen Goslawski, North American Off-Road Motorsports Supervisor, Ford Performance:
“Vegas to Reno is one of the most iconic desert races in North America, and it will be exciting to see the Ford Raptor T1+ take on this legendary challenge and demonstrate its capabilities in a completely new environment.”
