Tonight's official welcoming reception for the '98 Eco-Challenge could be described as nothing less than extraordinary. Held in the centuries old Badia Palace, competitors and media were treated to a show fit for royalty. The sight of the fortified walls lined with a traditional horseback guard of honor and each guest being showered with rose petals as they entered set the tone for a unique experience.
Hard to believe that competitors are soon to embark on one of the planet's toughest events but we are sure things will take on a slightly more serious tone tomorrow when they receive the first look at the course plotted for them.
