Poze de la trial :wink:

Re: "The Lost" - GPS trophy race - Razgrad, Bulgaria

Un eveniment prietenesc cu multa voie buna si cu trasee usoare si frumose.

Ca si nivel de dificultate sa va imaginati ca masina castigatoare a fost un Y60 2.8 scurt cu cauciucuri 33.

Taxe mici,cazare ok,mancare ok.

Am platit 100 leva de masina taxa de participare (concursul si 2 tricouri) si 20 leva de persoana petrecerea de sambata seara (mancare si bautura+DJ).

Sambata am primit 60 de coordonate si duminica 7 azimuturi urmate de un trial sincron.

Ca de obicei am fost placut impresionati de numarul mare de spectatori prezenti la trial cu toate ca a plouat toata ziua.

Un eveniment fain de inceput de an :wink:
