2008 information
After the successful race of 2008, we decided upon organizing a second edition in 2009 with the same venue: the old seawall in Den Helder.(80Kms from Amsterdam)An unexpected withdrawal of one of our main sponsors however, forced us to postpone the race to 2010. Due to the current, poor shape of the world economy, we and several teams, couldn’t find sufficient financing for this years’ race. The lack of the a.m. sponsorship and several teams withdrawing for the same reason made us decide to postpone the whole event.
So the place is set, the local permits settled, the press keen and fellow universities eager to learn about the results, but, it will all have to wait until August next year. Which – on the other hand - leaves everyone enough time to prepare the vehicle in the best possible way.
Naturally we feel disappointed but we do hope that you will join in our enthusiasm making August 2010 the best event ever! In 2010 the event will last a whole week. This enables us to make the best use of the current weather = wind conditions. Does your team want to register? Do so by filling out and mailing us the registration form.
