Fortin Racing continues to conquer the toughest terrain in the world with state of the art engineered drive train and power steering components designed and developed by Fortin Racing Inc.
Based in San Diego, California Fortin Racing currently campaigns a Pro Buggy and a Pro-2wd Truck in the Traxxas TORC short course off road racing series. The cars are driven by Doug Fortin. With 5 Baja 1000 championships and 2 Baja 500 victories under his belt, and 2 race wins in 2008 Doug and Fortin Racing are looking forward to even more success in the 2009 race season. To date Doug has won 7 out of 8 Pro Buggy races. In 2007 Fortin Racing designed and built an all new ProBuggy for the increasingly popular CORR series. Fortin saw the oppurtunity to introduce new drivetrain, suspension and steering technology in a growing race series. A new FRS4, 4 speed sequential gearbox was developed along with new ultra light 930 CV Rear Hubs. In a partnership with Racer Engineering, 6 chassis were built for the 2008 race season.
