Number of partizipants in the Lithuania and Latvia events was much lower than expected. It was expected that the "holiday offer" would attract more drivers who wanted to combined the two events with holiday.
Proposals for next year
1.About summary point, ….from 2016 you can only exclude event in which you have participated in . Participated means at at least started in the practice
2.At the last event in the Chamionship it will be held a unformel price seremony for the medal winners. The organizer decide what to give.
3. Commission want to replace finish APPmember Timo Lampinen with Heli Lahti -Saloranta
4. Commission wants to ask Council to include Extreme into a NEZ cup. Extreme has today activity in Finland, Sweden and Norway.
5. Commission wants toask Council to include the 85 class in the NEZ Championship. …or a cup. This class is the largest class in Norway/Sweden and they are the most willing to travell abroad. Including this class will lift the NEZ Chamionship to a much higher level

NEZ symbols were seen in the internet (marvelous site quality, by the way), on materials like invitation, entry list, road book and results.

The date of competition was well known in advance. Promotion by email to national contacts and to the established competitors, plus internet web pages, via Facebook page (open group), and personal contacts, both nationally and internationally. Clerk of the course, Ulrik Hejl, has close contacts to Netherlands and Germany. Start of promotion could have been some week earlier, which would have deminshed uncertainty about the event. APPHelp of national contact persons in NEZ countries was succesful, especially in Finland.
1.4 Spectators:
Start of the competition was organized in a Suzuki show room, during a normal shopping day. The visotors learned to know what is Economy Run as a sport. It is typical that people do not know EcoRun or EcoRally well enough.

Annual Report 2015 FOWG Oslo 10.10.2015
Current board took over during a meeting held in connection with the NEZ Formula offroad competition in Skien Norway 2013. And are still with the same persons on board.
We did some modification on the regulation for the year 2015 both on the technical part and the driving regulations. At the same time we began to evaluate and go through safety regulations, and this work is still ongoing. The regulations for 2016 are ready, and the regulations for 2017 are in process. Several meetings have taken place both during and between competitions this year, and some telefonmeetings. We had a meeting in Skien in connection with the NEZ competition. After report from NEZ meeting last year where we were asked to split up the regulations, we did so which means at we in practice has a completely new regulation which need to be translated from English to all the nations which has drivers taking part in Formula Offroad.
Regarding competitions scheduled this year, which we were forced to cancel because of the permission for the area was drawn back. However, NAF Skien was able to arrange The NEZ Formula offroad CHAMPIONSHIP on a short notice this year. There was a new record of teem taking part this year. Formula offroad is a groving sport in Iceland, but standing still in Norway, Sweden and Finland and one new car did show up from Denmark this year. We had some issues in Skien about following the regulation mainly lack of information til FOWG like results and buletin. The competition itself was very good and nearly all participants were satisfied and no complaints were filed on there behalf. The next NEZ competition will be in Iceland in May 2016,

This will be the NEZ championship with high sporting quality.
“Travellers championship”: 10-11 Sept. East Swedish, Swe. 15-16 oct. RallyLatvia Lv.
Those two with appeal to drivers who are not at top1 level, but interested in “adventure”. Only two events where the organizers will have to make exceptional good deals for the competitors from “the other side” of the region. Promotion and some sort of assistance to organization of travel, at the discression of the commisionmembers in cooperation, at the side of the region the competitors are travelling from.

For NEZ crosskart there must be presented one observer from NEZ Crosskart committee in all NEZ events. All members of NEZ crosskart committee should have official sign (card and jacket) to be recognized on events. Continue to work on regulations which will attract more young drivers. We had elected new Chairwoman: Heli Lahti Saloranta Finland and vice chairman: Janis Belakovs Latvia
