Biography

Building on a solid foundation in SCORE desert racing, this Australian competitor has established himself as a formidable presence in the demanding Class 10 division. Luke Erceg demonstrated his elite-level capabilities by securing an impressive 11th place finish at the 2024 SCORE Baja 1000, completing the grueling 1,275-mile course in 32:14:43 aboard his Racer-Chevy.

The international effort showcased the global appeal of SCORE racing, with Erceg leading an all-Australian team including co-drivers Chris Western, Michael Marson, and Talbot Cox. Their performance in the world's premier desert race highlighted the competitive depth of the Class 10 field, where single and two-seat vehicles with 1650cc engines battle through Mexico's unforgiving Baja Peninsula terrain.

Erceg's participation represents the strong international contingent that makes SCORE racing a truly global championship, with competitors from 27 countries tackling the ultimate test of man and machine. His solid finish among 33 starters, with only 17 completing the full distance, demonstrates the skill and preparation required to conquer one of motorsports' most challenging events. The Australian racer continues to build his reputation in North American desert racing's most prestigious series.
