The location in Ravijoki has already proven to be perfect. The local municipality, and local sport associations are all enthusiastically with us in organizing the event. The situation with sponsors looks good.

The technical regulations and general instructions as well as translations are well under way. We think we can start disseminating them in December. General instructions meaning accomodation, driving instructions, advice how to get discount on the ferry to Finland, where to get food and so on. E.g. closest accomodation facility is 0,7 km from the tracks. All the material for the Eurotrial will be published in Finnish, Swedish, English, German, French and Russian.

The areas for tracks and pits have been reserved. We have been granted permissions by the municipality council for environmental issues. The tracks will be made so that each class drives their own sections, yet they will be close to each other. The size of the area for tracks is 2.5 hectares. The area for pits is round 1 hectare, in close vicinity to the tracks. There will be two loud speaker networks and two announcers in the area. There will be several food and drink kiosks, 20 portable toilets and so on.

The tracks will be as European style as possible, but each class will have also typical Finnish sections.
