Biography

A dedicated Class 11 competitor from Ensenada, Hector Maymes represents the grassroots spirit of SCORE desert racing with his classic Volkswagen Beetle. Racing in the highly competitive Class 11 division, Maymes has consistently challenged himself against some of Mexico's most skilled drivers in the stock VW sedan category.

Throughout his SCORE career, Maymes has tackled the sport's most demanding events, including multiple Baja 1000 campaigns where he's faced the grueling 1,000-mile test of endurance across Baja California's unforgiving terrain. His #1117 Volkswagen has become a familiar sight on SCORE starting lines, representing the traditional backbone of Mexican desert racing.

Based in the racing hub of Ensenada, Maymes benefits from the city's rich off-road culture and technical expertise. His Class 11 campaigns showcase the pure essence of desert racing – stripped-down Volkswagen Beetles pushed to their mechanical limits across some of the world's most challenging off-road terrain.

Racing alongside co-drivers including Horacio Pereyra, Eduardo Maymes, Andrew Farris, and David Valenzuela, Maymes embodies the collaborative spirit essential for SCORE success. His persistence in one of desert racing's most demanding classes demonstrates his commitment to the sport's heritage and competitive tradition.
