Armin Schwarz

Biography

A distinguished veteran of international motorsports, this Austrian competitor brings decades of World Rally Championship experience to the unforgiving terrain of Baja California. With seven WRC race victories to his name, Schwarz has successfully transitioned from European rallying to North American desert racing, competing in SCORE's premier Trophy Truck division.

Racing out of the #5L Chevrolet Rally Truck built by Geiser Brothers, Schwarz represents the growing international presence in SCORE competition. His participation in events like the legendary Baja 500 demonstrates the global appeal of desert racing and the respect these events command among world-class drivers. The transition from closed-course rally stages to open desert requires adapting to entirely different challenges – navigating vast expanses of rough terrain, managing equipment over extreme distances, and mastering the unique demands of Trophy Truck competition.

Schwarz joins an elite group of international champions who have tested themselves against Baja's legendary courses, including fellow rally stars and champions from various motorsports disciplines. His WRC pedigree and proven ability to handle high-speed driving in challenging conditions make him a formidable competitor in the world's most demanding desert races, adding another layer of international credibility to SCORE's prestigious championship series.
