'YB races' app for smartphones
If you have a smartphone, you can download the 'YB Races' app and follow the fleet south via their GPS tracker. The app itself is free, but to buy the "ARC Caribbean 1500 race", you have to spend a few dollars. You can download the app already today, but the actual event will be available a few days before the start for purchase. Be sure to specify the 2016 race, not last year's.
Follow the rallies on Facebook
Facebook will be updated regularly with pictures and stories, the same facebook page for both events - make sure you 'like' us to get the latest updates! Like, share and tag photos if you like. The more photos you like, the more photos will be visible on your news feed! facebook.com/ carib1500
The weather is looking good for a Sunday departure. Yippee!
