Meyers Manx - The NORRA 1000 has a special connection to Meyers Manx, which inspired the official competition after a Manx set the record for running the length of Baja California. A Manx finished first at the inaugural event in 1967, which was then referred to as the NORRA Mexican 1000.

The Meyers Manx Remastered dune buggy debuted and finished in the Safari class at NORRA 1000 2023. The car finished without any significant failures, on the same engine and transmission. It also used synthetic fuels at one point.
