First... sorry my awful English.

Warn Trophy is last race in this year Finnish 4x4 cup, so there you can get cup-points. There has been problems on couple last years in Warn Trophy organisement.

Biggest problems has been in result calculation. Main reason has been that EMIT-system has been in use and there has been very big reliability problems. This year Warn is also using normal style to get control points, digital photographing. Also there has been some another kind confusions in race arragments.

Finland Trophy is made for somekind counterforce to Warn Trophy. So many competitors has disappointed to Warn Trophy arragment, so some of they made new race which is arranged now first time in this form.

Both races are using mainly 4x4 cup-rules, there can be little adjustments, even Finland Trophy is not in cup this year. (I hope that it will be in next year calendar.) English version of this year cup-rules you can find here. http://www.4x4cup.com/saannot/4x4CUP...2006-09-27.pdf

Noboby know's in advance which one is bigger or better race in this year. Only thing what I can tell, is that this year Warn is trying to improve result calculation. They are using same system in result calculation than every other cup-races. There is also at least one person, who is famillar with new result calculation system which has been used in all races in this year.

Warn Trophy registeration is made in same place where every cup-races registeration is made. http://registration.4x4cup.com/ Just create user and then fill required information. And last select race where you want to compete. From "Your registration" you can check details which are sent to race organiser. In Finland Trophy registeration is made with e-mail, and there are needed those required data which has listed in rules last pages.

Warn trophy competition centeris is located in Himos. Somewhere here.Finland Trophy is located in Hirvensalmi. I don't know excat place, but somewhere in this direction.

But first you should decide which race you are participateing. For both normal time registeration fee is 140€.


I now translate couple other prices from Warn pages:

Food service (25€/person fri lunch, sat brekfeast + lunch).

Accomodtaion you can buy from www.himoslomat.fi in Warn pages it's read that:
