Announced for today. With regret I publish the following decision for implementing El Chott 2015:
- The event will take place in Tunisia at specified period.
- The name of the event is changed to El Chott Sahara-Tour –Back to the Roots–
- During the event there will be no timed rally competition.
- The accompanying travels of AC and DC groups will be held unchanged.
- For already registered participants and service teams and also for ORGA, Service, helpers and friends as well as for all others who wish to accompany us, we will organize a 12-day Tunisia-Trip. For 80% of routes with different “sand share” (up to three different routes per day) there will be roadbooks.
- The offered services according to tender will be adapt.
- Registration fees are reduced accordingly. Any differences will be reimbursed.
- Each already registered participant in a race class as well as his service team can cancel his participation. Each already registered participant in a race class as well as his service team can cancel his participation. Already made entry fees will be reimbursed at 100%. The final date for this is the 16/08/2015. After that date refunds are granted only in accordance with the Terms and Conditions.
Any changes to the event will be published in detail at latest on Monday, 27/07/2015, on the website.
Justification:
Both our contacts in Tunisia as well as the information of the Foreign Office would not give cause to cancel the event for safety reasons. However, the individual security sense of participants and their families is a different thing. In recent weeks I received in addition to three new registrations also 5 cancellations. Moreover already announced registrations are not made.
Only 10 participants in 5 rating classes make a serious rally competition impossible.
