2016 Worlds feedback thread

[Zarizi Tech]

2016 RC Crawling Worlds is in the books and it's time to sum up this epic event.

Starting with the most important thing. Thanks to each and single one of you who attended the very first Worlds in Europe. Without the driver's there wouldn't be competition. Without competition there wouldn't be fun. Without fun it's useless piece of excersise anyways. YOU -- DRIVERS made this competition as big as it was!

Next big thanks belongs to Jeff aka cougar72 who have made an huge effort to bring out all the stuff to make the comp area and Crawler Village as awesome as it was. He has arranged everything in the end of France, so we own this guy a huge amount of gratitude. It has been a massive pleasure to work on the Worlds with THE organiser Jeff. Thanks also to Didier, Maryse, Adrien and every other volunteer who kept the food and other services running. It was phenominal to grap a pizza fresh from the owen and cold beer after the comp. Just the way it's supposed to be in a comp like this one!

Big shout out to the event sponsors too! First of all Crawlerkeller for beign a title sponsor! And course sponsors; RcBros, FanaticRC, Hulksta, DravTech, NEXT HERO and RFOT. There was also good bunch of support sponsors who gave away some cool prizes for the raffle; Barry's RC Carbon, RCP Crawlers, Dlux Fab and TGS Productions. Also big shout out to offipaita.fi making those awesome t-shirts and caps! And now that I remember, the awesome prizes were done by Tobias, so props to him as well!

Third thanks goes to my fellow ERCCA collegues Gabriele, Cedric, Arve and Stephan! This group surely keeps European RC Crawling on course to a better tomorrow! These guys worked their asses off (especially Cedric, Arve and Gabriele) judging every day, for the whole day. We need to remember that this ball doesn't roll by itself. We just have motivated group to push it forwards.

Thanks also to the other judges as; Marko, Christian and Pat. Also to all of the time keepers and helpers. Just couldn't be done without you. You know who you are!

Thanks to Sofi, Pertti, Saku and Arttu for helping me with the tech and organising stuff in France. That helped a lot during the weekend. Special thanks to Sofi with a huuuuge help on putting up the scores with me. We had to skip two dinners just to make it happen, but without the help, I'd still be there. Much appreciated!

I made lot's of new friends during this project and I'm really happy about how well this was pulled off. I'm hoping to get still another chance some day to arrange the Worlds, cause allthough it was a long and hard project, it was after all well worth it.

Thank you everyone and see you at the next ERCCA comp!
