Central Europe Rally - Snow in Romania: change of the route

April 9, 2008 - The organizers had to change the route of the Romanian part of the Central Europe Rally (April 20 -- 26) because of the snow in the region of Sovata.

After spending a lot of time and energy trying to clean the "roads" from the snow, A.S.O. decided to cancel the stages scheduled around Sovata for security reasons. Indeed, the timing for the recos in order to make a very complete road book was to short because of the important quantity of snow that prevent the sporting team to work on the route.

The Central Europe Rally will take place around Baia Mare in Romania. The competitors will arrive on Sunday 20th April afternoon, compete in four "special stages" on Monday and Tuesday and then follow their course back to Hungary.

The assistance park will be on the Bvd Unirii in Baia Mare.
