RC4WD EuroCrawl 2024 feedback and thank you post ✅️
Time to gather my thoughts about the 2024 EuroCrawl in Montegrino Valtravaglia (VA), Italy. 🇮🇹
We had an excellent comp week in Italy and we truely were mostly very lucky with the weather. 🥵 It could've been worse. Few rain showers on Friday and Saturday made some of the courses very tricky for the drivers but that's outdoor sports for you, it happens. 👍
All in all I'm extremely happy how it all turned out and how willing everyone were following the schedule. Thanks to everyone for that. These comp days could not handle delays. Nobody had to drive in the dark. 💪 The comp spot was compact and perfect for the job. We had different courses every day and people were tightly on their own zones. The restaurant served our needs perfectly also. 👍
Then we come to the part of thanks. First of all, thanks to Andrea Ceresini. This guy did so much work pre comp and never complained or had any doubts. "No problem Samu" was the sentence I heard most from this guy. Your efforts are so much appreciated and I feel this was the perfect time to introduce EuroCrawl to Italy. Big thanks for hard work of Massimo Bonvini also. The comp site was perfect and I'm very glad we figured the insurances out as well. 😎
Next I want to give huge shout out to all of the drivers that showed up. The amount of you is still astonishing and I'm super glad I was witnessing this event. Honoured to get drivers from all the way from USA and Israel also. Big up to Wyatt Mellon (+mum), Barry Sobol and Anan Fakheralden (+family) ! Hope you enjoyed and spread the good word about epic European events! 💪
Thanks to my colleagues from ERCCA for all your efforts: João Xkilo, Daniel Siegl, Daniel Konrad, Arve Husby, Pat Ba and Andrea Ceresini. Also thanks to all of Finnish/Dutch team for helping me with the sponsorship gifts and tech. Highly appreciated! 💪 This stuff just doesn't work without help.
Thank you to the photographers Saku Sarka , Tuomas Visuri, Sofi Sarka, Janika Sarka and Serge le Moal. Also thanks to Jukka Juuti for the upcoming videos! Can't wait. 😎
Big up for antix and crawlerresults site. This comp would've never been possible without the help of the site. It is a game changer still. 🙂
A big thanks for the Friday night suprise for me that Janika and all of the participants had put up for me. The video and the gifts were amazing! 🥹 I will never forget this.
Big thanks to my dad up in the sky for the support and producing all the comp material since the day one. He has been a big part of the success of EuroCrawl. Miss you. 😔
It is time for me to step aside for a while now. I feel like I have given my everything for these events for so long that I need a break before burning myself for this. I will come back stronger eventually with new ideas, don't you worry. And you'll see me on the comps for sure! 🙃
As for the picture I want to thank the OG's and the hardcore Crawlers that have been part of all five EuroCrawl events so far: João, Arvid, Patrice and Jens Petter Kurland (missing from the photo). Love you guys! 🤩
Thanks everyone and see you on the rocks,
- Samu / Mr. President
