VOTE FOR ELECTRIC BUGGY EUROS 2009 IN SPAIN

[awa0]

This weekend wil be the EFRA Anual General Meeting. AECAR (Spanish Federacion of Radiocontrol) gives you the opportunity of racing in Bilbao (Spain).

Spanish people expect you kindly.

Bilbao is at the north of Spain, near France, near UK by ferry or air, and at the south of Europe.

The track is at the centre of Bilbao, near a subway station, hotels, airport, ferrys from england... The surface track will be artificial grass, with a half, jumps, dubbies, etc.

Here are gastronomy, nightlife, architecture, good weather waiting for you.

You must regard us at the EFRA's meeting, to give us the championship. Please promote us with your friends, federation chairmans, etc.

Thank's and ¿see you?

I thought Euro's had to be on a Natural surface?

This used to be the rule, but it is different now, so different surfaces can be used. I spoke to PW about this at the Euro's, but I don't know the exact wording of the rule!!!

I'll vote for it, if you get rid of the astroturf!

[Chrislong]

I'll vote for it regardless, would love to come to Bilbao!

Any pictures of the track? vidoes? Youtube clips?

[Alfonzo]

Bilbao sounds excellent to me.

Don't like the ferry costs or the random times they leave Portsmouth

I guess I need to Google a few more ferry companies and flight costs.

[Lee]

Im sure sleazy jet fly pretty close to bilbao, i know ill be flying wherever it is. By the time you have paid fule and tolls its cheaper to fly IMO

[Body Paint]

Sounds like a great venue.

Out of the venues available this years Euros, Bilbao would be the one I would choose, especially for the astro turf.

Unfortunately I cannot financially commit this far ahead so it looks like I'll have to give it a miss

[Belsten]

Id quite fancy it if there was any way I could get an entry

Now it's natural surface (vegetal terrain with some grass) and astro turf, but we are considering to put artificial grass. EFRA will decide if they give us the race.

I never did know why this was the case, same for the worlds really??

I think they should all vary to reflect what all parts of the world race on....not that I have any issue with dirt tracks......unless they are wet or refuse to blue groove

This place looks pretty good though, lots of room!!

[GRIFF55]

looks good, only ever raced on dirt at tiverton.

[ashleyb4]

I would never get on a P&O ferry (Pissing Orrible) Its a shame britinary ferries no longer go to bilbao there awsome.

I wouldnt mind the euro's but i didnt do nationals this year.

[Garry Driffill]

Nothing wrong with P&O Ferrries

[awa0]

And the winner is..... ¡BILBAO!

THE ELECTRIC BUGGY EUROS 2009 WILL BE IN BILBAO!!!


Thanks for the support!!!

nice to go somewhere new. Track certianly looks different to previous Euro's tracks, but like the adverse camber sections.
