\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tPaul Weel’s Red Bull-backed Trophy Truck.<\/p>\n

The team will instead run as Paul Weel Motorsport, with the owner-driver to be joined by Rob MacCachren.<\/p>\n

Weel has also decided to ditch #46 in favour of MacCachren\u2019s \u201ciconic\u201d #11 that he has become synonymous with.<\/p>\n

MacCachren has seven Baja 1000 wins to his name and 17 SCORE International off-road wins in Trophy Trucks.<\/p>\n

Weel announced the changes via social media, which come after Toby Price\u2019s decision to take a sabbatical from desert racing<\/a> and former navigator Brent Bauman\u2019s resignation.<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cAfter a great deal of reflection over the past few weeks, I am excited to share that Paul Weel Motorsport will be teaming up with Rob MacCachren for the remainder of the 2026 SCORE International Championship,\u201d Weel wrote.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe team will be rebranding to Paul Weel Motorsport and adopting Rob\u2019s iconic Number 11. A number that has achieved so much down the Baja Peninsula, and it is an absolute honour for us to carry it forward.\u201d<\/p>\n

Weel hailed MacCachren as the \u201creal deal\u201d who \u201cbrings a level of knowledge, experience and credibility that I believe will be invaluable to this program.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI have been doing this for a very long time and I honestly do not think I have ever felt this level of excitement,\u201d said MacCachren.<\/p>\n

\u201cPaul has built something very special here and I cannot wait to get behind the wheel of the Gen 2. I am grateful for this opportunity and I am ready to go to work.\u201d<\/p>\n

With the departure of Price, Red Bull has also parted company.<\/p>\n

\u201cBefore anything else, I want to take a moment to sincerely thank Red Bull USA for their incredible support throughout our partnership,\u201d Weel added.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was an honour to wear the Red Bull helmet and represent a brand with such deep roots within my own family. A full-circle moment and a partnership I will never forget. Thank you.<\/p>\n

Weel also confirmed that he has acquired a new, second-generation Mason Motorsport-prepared Trophy Truck.<\/p>\n

\u201cI can tell you it is an unbelievable machine,\u201d said Weel.<\/p>\n

\u201cRob has yet to get behind the wheel, which is something we are all very much looking forward to.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are set to line up together at the Baja 500 in June and preparations are well underway.<\/p>\n

\u201cTo all our partners who have stood by us through this challenging time, thank you.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe appreciate it and are looking forward to getting back to business.\u201d<\/p>\n

SCORE International continues with the 58th Baja 500 on June 3-7.<\/p>\n

Price, meanwhile, competed in Rally Otago in a new Toyota GR Yaris Cup where he finished 15th overall.<\/p>\n

Price will continue his rallying exploits with Rally Queensland on April 17-19.<\/p>\n
