The 2023 Bolivia event was an unmitigated disaster. We had the wrong people in Bolivia that were incompetent and dishonest supposedly helping us. Having the event go so badly just made us more determined to put on a very well-organized event that proves the location is the best in the world to set international speed records. I, Reg Cook, Jamie Williams, Jim Knapp, and Al Lamb have decided to finance a return in 2024. We have hired Marcos Soto to organize the logistics in Bolivia. Marcos has come recommended by people we trust. He has worked with movie and video production companies for the last 15 years. This will be a combined FIA and FIM sanctioned event. Marcos has enlisted the help of the various government ministers who are supporting the event. The Bolivian Sports Minister is issuing a permit as a National Sporting Event to promote it and will work with others within the government to obtain required approvals. Marcos and the FIA are working with the Auto Club Bolivia who will help with promotion and logistics. We chose the month of October as it was recommended by Marcos and other local people in Uyuni as the best time to run such an event. There is no chance of rain, there is very little wind, and the temperature is much warmer than previous events. We have decided to have a flat rate entry fee for the event of $10,000.00. If you have any interest in going this takes away the uncertainty of cost. Also, we are not recommending you stay at the hotels located at the salt which are expensive, and food is limited to what is offered at the hotel. Good hotels in the town of Uyuni run from $50.00 to $85.00 per night and offer a good free breakfast. Uyuni has a population of 30,000 and has a wide variety of restaurants to choose from. Travel time to the entrance of the salt is 30 minutes.
