The leading European car rental company has agreed to become official sponsor of the WGC 2008! We have not yet finalised all terms & conditions, but we will be able to provide around 15 rental cars (e.g. Mercedes-Benz E-Class station wagon, VW Sharan and Golf, Audi Q7 etc.) with tow hook to competitors at significantly reduced rates. Please stay tuned (detailed information to follow in Bulletin 3), and write an e-mail now to administration[at]wgc2008.org detailing your car rental needs as a preliminary reservation.
