ISSA Main, Major Events in Europe
Time to get into shape. We can look forward to a hot racing season. As usual there is one Major event on each side of the Atlantic. As the Worlds will be held in Europe this time, it's been awarded Major status. The Euros this year will be a Main status event, so point-wise worth equally as much as the other Main events.

Signed by EU status marshals: Robert Thiele, Gustavs Gailitis, Peter Klang
Note: Gothenburg has been allowed to restrict participation in the Euros and we are working with them to settle the best selection method. We already know that there will be no Masters or Juniors class at this event, and we are considering other locations for their Euros. More info on these topics will follow shortly.

Sunday update: At noon the rain is still pouring down and no blue sky anywhere around. It's unlikely we'll see any racing today. But let's not give up hope just yet.
