Turner Motorsport is a both a tuner shop and a race team founded by Will Turner located in Amesbury, Massachusetts. The race team participates in the IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship driving BMWs. The tuner shop also specializes in BMWs. If you follow Turner Motorsports or Will Turner you will know that they bleed BMW, but it is understandable that they need to put their BMWs aside to race in the most grueling off road race in the world - the Baja 1000.

Turner Motorsport sent out a press release stating some of its drivers will be returning to the Baja 1000 in a few days. If you do not know, the Baja 1000 is a more than 1,100-mile off-road race that takes place on Mexico's Baja California Peninsula. The race begins in Ensenada, Mexico on Nov. 16 and ends in La Paz, Mexico.

This is not Turner Motorsport's first time attending the Baja 1000. Drivers Michael Marsal, Markus Palttala, Jay Baier, and Turner Motorsport owner Will Turner attended the 2016 race. They competed in the Baja Challenge class which loops around from Ensenada, Mexico to El Rosarito, Mexico. They finished fourth, so they want to return to that podium.

For 2017, Turner Motorsport is adding two more drivers to help carry the load, Oskar Slingerland and James Rossiter. The team is going to compete in the BC-6 Baja Challenge Class.
