Worlds 2011 - Vassa, Finland
Ok, fair enough, quiet a bit off, and we haven't even completed qualifying for it yet - however, with the 4wd national done and dusted it may be time to at least be thinking about it
I've heard a rumour that someone is thinking about driving!! - so here are the facts to help you decide: DRIVING: Dublin to Vaasa - 3,245km (6,490km return) Cost of ferries (car) - 560 euro (much more for camper) Tolls - 160 euro Fuel (35 mpg average) - 600 euro Baggage: no weight limit, but must fit in the car/camper Time: with a two or three drivers, 2 and a bit days each way FLYING: Aer Lingus Dublin to Helsinki: 140 euro Blue1 Helsinki to Vassa: 95 euro Baggage: up to 15kg Freight: 30kg Hauler Bag to Vaasa from Dublin is 100 Euro with TNT 2 Haulers strapped together @ 60kg is about 150 euro. Time: 8 hours door to door including time during transfer. This is a no brainer........ |

Gutted! Just looked at the holiday calendar in work for next year, which I expected to be completly empty. There's one entry: Flying Fifteen (dinghy sailing) World Championships July 14 - 28 2011 and underlined in red is "No-one to take time off here"...... fook! Looks like I'll have to go to the Euros instead |

I was advised at the weekend that the date (above) for the Worlds is only the proposed date.
As the snow must fully retreat, and the warm up taking place 2 month prior to the main event - this date is a little more than unsure. The event may occur in August/September. We won't know till October roughly - so don;t go booking any flights just yet |

I am strongly thinkin of going to this. Even if I don't place high enough in this years nationals to qualify to race at the event, I'll still prob go to watch.

Savage track, looks easy but so much is off camber and nice and dusty

I guess that big triple will go, the last thing you need is a big stackable jump to ruin a close race
