131 participating in international rally "Europa Tour 2017"

[Robert]

That's why we can't attend 3MA17: we did the 1100 km rally "Europa Tour" from Czech Republic via Germany and Austria to Italy, finishing in the Dolomites. Sort of a challenge

Seems like a great event and congratulations on your podium finish 🏁😉😊

Wow Roberto, congratulations 3 in class and 8 overall!

Wouldn't mind doing this event myself provided it's not hugely expensive. Does the car need any specific modifications to make it eligible.

I was going to take part in a trans-European Gumball style event in the M5, but my darling wife put a stop to that as soon as she heard that there might be prolonged 'spirited' driving

Simon, the fee was around 1300 Euro for 2 Persons/car, comprising 4 nights in 4/5* Hotels on half board; quite competitive price IMHO. No car mods necessary but a rally meter comes in handy.

I forgot: the tentative planning for next year's event is Nürburgring - Alsace - Lago Maggiore

The Gumball event that I was looking at was £1200 per person, based on two sharing, for five days, so yours is a bargain! 

As next year's 3MA is likely to be back in England it would be good to take one of my 131s into Europe for an event like this.

Please keep us posted on the arrangements for next year's event Robert, as I for one am interested.

I'm interested too 👍😁 Even though we've done Nürburgring - Alsace - Lago Maggiore in previous 3mas, they are all lovely places that I wouldn't mind visiting again. I've been to Lago Maggiore five times I think and I wouldn't mind going five more. Always reminds me of my dad as we were together the first time 😊
