El Cinco de Chump
ChumpCar World Series - Streets of Ensenada (Ensenada, Mexico)


As far as we know, this is the only crapcan street race in the world. Like last year, this will be a series of sprint races.

There's a lot to know ahead of time. If you're going, you probably already know what you need to know, but if you don't, be sure to read the Rules Supplements.
