UIM first Award Giving ceremony thoughts

Lovely event! Shame that UIM do not had it earlier. Some champions made protest with not showing up on the ceremony specially organised for them. It is worth to learn to stop fighting at least for one evening. We have another way to make changes.

We have to stop thank people who are getting salary to be involved in organising event. We have to stop thank parties who had problems and then solved them. Is it really so, that first we have to start war to get “prize of the peace”. Nobody thanks nations to not start up war in last 200 years.

We have to thank people, who really are trying to make our sport better. Nobody thanks South Africa for the great job done with young drivers. We have to respect comments and experience of NA of the Republic of South Africa, when we are handling rules of class P-750 or making decisions. We have to!

We have to stop making 1-2 persons decisions in UIM. UIM General Assembly adopts rules, but an only limited number of persons are “killing classes” and makes much more important decisions. These are so called "grey cardinals" and they not ask permission or agreement from members of our Union. They not ask from others, they just “make decisions”.

But event in Monaco was nice and we really hope it is just beginning. But as I learned, there are a lot of national authorities, which even never had thought about thanking organisers of the races, who are doing it on voluntarily bases. Shame!
