“Snowmobiles are very important in the Northern part of Europe; for business, leisure as well as in sport. The visit of the BRP factory, where Lynx and Ski-Doo snowmobiles are produced, was most interesting. It is our aim, together with the Federations and the manufacturers, to give a boost to the sport. I am grateful to SML for arranging the meeting”, stated the FIM Europe President Dr. Wolfgang Srb at the end of the meeting.
