    Why does the time difference with Mexico change?

    Mexico abolished daylight saving time on Oct 30, 2022. Most of the country, including Mexico City, now stays on standard time all year, while the US still changes its clocks in March and November. So the gap between, say, Mexico City and New York is one hour for part of the year and two hours for the rest.

    There are exceptions. The whole state of Baja California, which includes Ensenada and San Felipe, still follows the US schedule, along with some municipalities on the US border. That means SCORE races that start in Ensenada or San Felipe keep the same time as California all year. Baja California Sur, where the 2026 Baja 1000 is based, does not change its clocks.

    Every start time on Race.mx is converted from the organizer’s official local time and shows the time zone it is in, including daylight or standard time.
