Last Friday there was a vile terrorist attack in Tunisia again.
Our sympathy goes out to all family members and friends of the victims of Sousse.
..
As organizer of the rally I must evaluate the current security situation now:
Just like in March all our sources are agree that the general inland security situation has not deteriorated.
Nevertheless, we all must understand one thing: Although the security forces will do everything possible to prevent further attacks, there will be no absolute security. Nobody can and will promise this to us.
..
What does this mean for the rally? Will the rally take place?
..
The decision is yours!
..
The ORGA and also some of the participants with whom I have already spoken, wish to absolve the event as planned. “If we stay away now, the extremists have reached their first target.”
..
Of course there are other voices and announcements of cancellation. That too I can fully understand.
..
Both for a real competition as well as for the cost-effectiveness of the necessary rally logistics a minimum number of participants is required.
Therefore, there is this year only one clear statement for Tunisia and the rally: A quick, obligatory registration.
..
On July 22, 2015 I’m going to announce the decision, based on the then present registrations.
In case of cancellation of the rally we will arrange for all those who still want to go into the Tunisian desert an alternative program: A “back to the roots” tour through the dunes of the Sahara.

For questions, I am available at all times under js-motorsport@t-online.de or at facebook.
