General information meeting - 4th February 2009

At the request of some Dutch and Belgian participants we decided to organise a general briefing for people participating this year in the LDC rally and anyone who may need some extra information before they take the final decision to join us in March. The meeting will take place in the headquarters of Garmin Belgium. This means that if you still have questions regarding your GPS, you can bring them with you. On the agenda: the tracks and their difficulties, guidelines for safe dune driving, safety equipment & procedures, transport, race rules, what material to bring, etc.

Timing: Wednesday, 4th February between 20.00h and 22.00h
