Lac du Tolerme, 26 August 2006 9:30     Review of the situation on D-32 from World Championship:   Thursday 20 July 2006  All our expectations for the preparation of the Championship are exceeding the limits, and today the situation is very problematic: scheduled Today Drivers 120 161 Number crafts on paddock 120 150 Camping : Motorhomes 60 87 Tents 80 137 Races series to divide in two 2 3 Meals on Saturday evening 400/500 550/600 The lie of the site does not allow us to widen neither the camp site nor the paddock and consequently we are not able to greet more participants and more supporters. The camp site will not be opened before Sunday 20th August, and since the size of the site and the number of people, we will have to squeeze up! Jean-Pierre Godicheau.
