and a lot of more people from HKS and GPA.
But the most spend the night, during darkness and rain,  in the camper vans.
Randy Oldenbürger, he is here too, said to me, for his  record he needs a video.
But, i don´t have an sd-card for 24 hours and i think,  no one will see 24 hour-videos.
During the last hours a lot of people are standing at  the beach and are waiting for the end of our run.
