some really nice videos from Italian Friends and music by Stefano Mocini

In 2014 edition a teenager class for riders new to rallies 18-22 years old will be added.
All participants in that class will pay low entry and there will be a special trophy for them.
Already 4 registered from Italy and we are looking forward to have more on this.

It's only late September but its getting closer! We put up our support packages today and I think the rally will sell out quickly
