Dear MONTEBLANCO / PORTIMAO participant,
The CEO of the circuit of PORTIMAO - Paulo Pinheiro - has cancelled all the events that were planned between 6th en 28th October 2014 at PORTIMAO (click here for his written confirmation of it).
According to mister Pinheiro, he would only be able to give the exact reason at the start of september 2014.
We can assure you that we tried absolutely everything in our power to try to :
either nullify this decision;
either offer an alternative solution (e.g. divert to another circuit nearby, like ESTORIL, etc.)
However, nothing worked out.
Additionally, this means that the organisation of the first 40% of our "double event" at MONTEBLANCO / PORTIMAO - more specifically the part on MONTEBLANCO - becomes infeasible from an organizational, technical, logistical and financial point of view.
This means that we are forced - with tremendous heartache - to announce to you that our 6th consecutive edition at PORTIMAO wil not take place, and in its slipstream, also our event at MONTEBLANCO is dragged into this, and so it will not take place either.
All flights of the entire EYBIS team, as well as the 74 overnight stays in the hotel, were already booked, etc. So we can assure you that we are not amused with this development either. Nevertheless - and after studying all possible alternatives - we had to put up with the fact that we can not change anything to it, and that we will have to accept it.
About the refund of your entry fee : please send an email to
info@eybis.com with the following information :
your name and first name
the IBAN + BIC code of your bankaccount
We will refund your entry fee ASAP (read: first half of september 2014, due to vacation in august).
We hope for your understanding for this very sad case of force majeure, and wish you a very beautiful summer.
Frank Slabbynck
