TL;DR summary: I had a great weekend on an event I was a bit uncertain about at first. And sometimes there is a lot more to gain in competitive Games like the first price. ---------------------- Even though the event startet at 3pm last Friday - work kept me busy and I did not arrive before...

In 2019 and 2020 we already combined a family visit in Northern Germany with the Bremerhaven Cuxland Classic Rallye. Last year the event was cancelled due to a lack of starters - but this year 34 cars were back at it again. As some might have noticed due to the lack of updates - work,... Continue Reading →
