ÄMNE:

Is there an offical website for this event?
With up to date info?

Christian Gävle skrev: To The Organisers Of The Nordic Offshore Championship...Since there seem´s to be a lot of discussions about the pitstop,rocks on the beach,fuelspill etc.I have a suggestion!I think a mandatory pitstop for example 5-10 min would be a benefit for the racers(info on other racers,no problems with fuel etc)Organisers (no problems with fuelspills etc)Media(could have interviews during the race).I hope someone can take a fast dession about this and come up with up to date info regarding this.
Best regards Christian Westerlund Sweden.

Great Christian!

From the perspective of best man to win the race and not pitstop due to rapid refueling appliance or better logistics at home so I agree with you.
Going out on a rocky beach at full speed, refuel and then suck a couple of stones into the intake is not something you want.

The proposal from my side is that it becomes a mandatory pitstopp on the 2:nd lap, 5-10 min after two laps, half the distance and then out again. Still, easy for organizers and 100% fair.

Still in minds to go Stock-class instead, cause of 17 participants in Stock-class due to 3 in the Open class.

The weather forecast says 10 m / s so it will be rock hard!!!

Summery; - Sammy, fix a static pitstop

How did the meeting go....we need info....

People who will be responsible of running the race decided that they will not be able to run the race by stopping time for each racer for pitstop. It would be impossible to handle the situation on the beach if everyone comes for the pitstop at the same time (after second lap). Also some racers feel that the tactical perspective of when making pitstop or even trying to race without making it, is a important part of endurance racing.

As I have said earlier, nobody will get any major benefit of equipment for refueling. You have to remember that the last time we have raced offshore race here in Finland was 2005.

Jaha då vet jag en som har en viss fördel i OPEN klassen nämligen Rickard Frej som kör med bränslecell så att han slipper gå in i depå.

Kawworna klara den distans med om de åker STOCK.
Nu kör jag ju inte detta rejs men för mig låter det lite konstigt att man skall få hålla på och slabba med soppa i strandkanten under rejstid.. dvs stor risk för bränslespill i vattnet och miljöknuttarna lär väl stå och jubla då....
I USA när de gör tankstopp måste skotern upp på vagn å en bra bit upp på stranden innan tankning får ske för att soppa inte skall hamna i vattnet.

Det kommer att bli staff tid vid bränsle spill plus att stranden är ingen sandstrand utan en stenstrand. Så det kommer bli en hel del repor på de maskiner som inte har med sig strandskydds täcken att köra upp maskinerna på. :crash:

Lycka till
