Michele Posted February 16, 2006 Share Posted February 16, 2006 Nice to have this info I could be interested as well... ...assuming it's the same event which has been covered in this month LRM (credits:Patrick & Patricia Vandickelen and TAT organisation)...? The only issues for me would be: - participation is for teams of two vehicles I'd need to find the other half of the team - my trusted co-driver doesn't speak English but oh well... - price to enter the event???

tudor Posted February 16, 2006 Share Posted February 16, 2006 Hi Michele, to answer your questions, here you have it: - yes, it is the same event as in LRM - good luck in finding the partner, maybe this could help: http://www.transilvania-trophy.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=6 -if he knows french, german, italian...he has a good chance of being ok -prices http://www.transilvania-trophy.com/info_prices.php good luck, tudor I could be interested as well......assuming it's the same event which has been covered in this month LRM (credits:Patrick & Patricia Vandickelen and TAT organisation)...?

Michele Posted February 16, 2006 Share Posted February 16, 2006 First thing,welcome guys. The prices - The accomodation is 200 Euros/person, for the whole period of the competition, no matter if you are a spectator, a competitor or in the technical assistance. This includes 3 nights in a 3 star hotel in a double room and catering for one week (from Sunday till Saturday morning) During the bivouac period breakfast and dinner will be provided on site and sandwiches will keep you going through the day. Mmh,that's not too bad considering what's included. We have far less exciting gatherings here for such steep prices... As to my friend Mauro,he only speaks Italian. Maybe I could drag Ben to co-drive instead for some Aussie fashion B) Thanks for the links. I'm going to give the forum a look. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LR90 Posted February 16, 2006 Share Posted February 16, 2006 Developing into a good thread though. I'm waiting to find out if Michele decides to go (be some great pics out of it). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michele, Interesting competition - I assume your looking to enter the 'Extreme' event. I would be interested in doing the 'Open' event, but put off by the 3000 mile round trip , unless Audi can tow 90 on a trailer - theres a thought. Might also have to fit my AT tyres on again Think it would take me 3 days to get there. So think I'll bow out this year. Also noticed - limited to 30 competitors per class. Otherwise sounds really good B) , and certainly more interesting than my planned off-road holiday to Wales, this August. Peter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michele Posted February 17, 2006 Share Posted February 17, 2006 I'm waiting to find out if Michele decides to go (be some great pics out of it) Well,it's not exactly up to me only... Main issues are my co-driver's availability,fuel cost,and spares support eventually... Giving my new job I could try and ask the boss for a sponsorship... Michele, interesting competition - I assume your looking to enter the 'Extreme' event (...)certainly more interesting than my planned off-road holiday to Wales Peter I have yet to look into details,my truck is certainly not "extreme". I don't have a rollcage,which would be a limit But I agree with you about the idea of an holiday. Sounds a great idea to match tourism,travelling and wheeling. As to the span question,I couldn't say if it is. Maybe the guys just wrote it in a tad formal way... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tudor Posted February 17, 2006 Share Posted February 17, 2006 guys, if you're entering the "open" section, luckily for your looks B) the helmet is optional ....so don't let that stop you going all the way to romania cheers, tudor I forgot it as well!

Ionut Macri Posted July 12, 2006 Author Share Posted July 12, 2006 Hello off-roader friends! TAT 2006 has just closed the doors! It was a fantastic adventure's week with a little bit of everything: mud and dusty roads, heavy stormy rain and crystal clear sun, forestry paths and rocky rivers. Although some difficult stages on the EXTREME section made it impossible for eleven cars to continue, the remaining eigth teams (meaning sixteen cars) safely reached the finish line. You can find the results and the photos at http://www.transilvania-trophy.com/2006.php Best regards, Ionut Macri Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ionut Macri Posted September 25, 2006 Author Share Posted September 25, 2006 We have also the Open section wich is suited for less prepared cars. This way you can enjoy the same beautiful landscape but without ruining your car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GBMUD Posted September 25, 2006 Share Posted September 25, 2006 We have also the Open section wich is suited for less prepared cars. This way you can enjoy the same beautiful landscape but without ruining your car. That sounds like something I would like to do. I enjoyed the film, some very extreme stuff there! I guess that most of the footage in the film was of the "extreme" course? The countryside looks wonderful. Do I remember correctly that you allow ATVs too?
