2019 FIA World Cup for Cross-Country Bajas
Previous:	2018	Next:	2020

The 2019 FIA World Cup for Cross-Country Bajas was the first season of the reformed FIA World Cup for Cross-Country Bajas; an annual competition for baja-style rally raid events for cars, buggies, side-by-sides, and trucks held in multiple countries. The championship was last held in 2010, after which the baja events were combined with the longer cross-country rallies to form the FIA World Cup for Cross-Country Rallies.^[1]

Calendar

The 2019 edition of the world cup featured eight cross-country baja events. The longer cross-country rally events remained part of the regular Cross-Country Rally World Cup.^[2] Some events on the schedule were shared with the 2019 FIM Bajas World Cup.^[3]

The FIA awarded the world cup to drivers, co-drivers, and teams competing in the T1 category; whilst drivers and teams in the T2 and T3 categories were awarded FIA cups.

Autocross is a form of motorsport in which competitors are timed to complete a short course using automobiles on a dirt or grass surface, excepting where sealed surfaces are used in United States. Rules vary according to the governing or sanctioning body, such as the length of the course, the amount of permitted attempts, or whether competitors start the course individually at intervals or at the same time as others. In this latter form, Autocross differs from other forms of motor racing by using a system of heats or alternative timing methods for the classification rather than racing for position and declaring the first across the finish line as the winner.
