Team EYBIS

CHAT BOX

We have created a second Whatsapp Group - which we call from now on the "CHAT BOX" - in which all participants can post.

This group is mainly intended to ask each other questions (and give each other answers) about a spare part you need, a certain INFO that you cannot find on the website (even if it is indeed there ;-), etc.

People who abuse this group or make inappropriate posts will be removed and blocked.
If the group would be massively abused and miss its target, the group will be deactivated by the organisation.

There will be no official information or communication posted in this Group.

The organisation is not a member of this groupo and will therefore not answer any questions.

It is not necessary to join this group, but it can be fun and sometimes even useful. You can leave this group at all times.

In the middle of the Algarve, between the mountains and the Barrocal, near Portimao, you will find the Algarve Race Hotel & Resort.

Participation Form

We will not verify this, it 's only for your own comfort / safety, especially in Spain and Portugal.

VERY IMPORTANT: make sure to have your "European Health Insurance Card" (EHIC) with you. By showing this card, people know - in the domain of health (and injury) insurance - that you're completely covered in your own country and that every other country, that is a member of the European Union, has to give you all the needed care.If you haven't obtained your card from your health care insurance, than :

• apply for a card immediately;
• if you cannot receive it in time, ask them to e-mail to you a "Provisional replacement certificate for the European Health Insurance Card" (= 1 page, and this can be done immediately);

A list of "Dangerous sports" that are excluded from "urgent medical care abroad". Usually, "racing with car / motorcycle / outboard engines" is listed. But as we do not "race", our activity is not excluded from any treatment. Check if this is also the case with your insurance, and if it is not, just be sure to get an insurance yourself.

EYBIS has not only a very good insurance as an organiser, but insures also - on every event - all participants with a good TPL (= third partie liability) insurance.

If you have a racing license from your national motorcycle council, be sure to bring it with you.
