The motorcycle racing off-season hꦰas thrown up a bizarre under-the-radar tale.

A dirt bike rider completed an infꦜamously gruelling race while constantly FaceTiming his worrie💖d mother.

“I waꦕnted to🐎 race the Baja 1000 so badly, but my mom won’t let me because I have Type 1 diabetes,” Ben Hunter explained.

“She🃏 said the only way I could💙 race is if I was live streaming the whole time.”

And that’s exactly what he did.

Hunter turned𝓀 up with a Starlink Mini🔯 taped to his helmet, hooked up to a power supply.

His mother was live streamed on 🌸FaceTime while taped to his body.

The Baja 10ᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚ00 is one of the most prestigious off-road motorsports event in the world, held on thﷺe Baja California Peninsula.

So Hunter’s attempt to placate his mother’s concer💦ns were aꦬdmirable.

But on the sport♎ing side he did not fare too well.

Hunter incurred a 17-hour time penalty, according to , after taking an “unal𝕴lowed path”.

It led to an official disq🃏ualification from the race.

And, presumably a telling-off from his mother who watche💝d e🎀very moment.
