Serata di gala a Salle des Etoiles in Monaco, a Monte Carlo. La terza edizione dei FIM Off Road si è svolta sullo sfondo della stupenda baia di Monte Carlo con i milgiori piloti e una nutrira rappresentativa della autorità a sigillare un astagione sportiva in netto crescendo. 400 ospiti hanno popolato la meravigliora Salle des Etoiles in cui sono stati premiati i Campioni del 2007 e sono stati assegnati i premi speciali.
Giuseppe Luongo, Presidente di Youthstream, said: “Che notte! Sono soddisfattissimo per questa terza edizione ed è stato importante poter contare su così tanti ospiti e sulla stampa internazionale con una significatoiva presenza di quella americana. La stagione è stata fantastica con organizzazioni esemplari come il GP di Bulgaria, con grandi piloti Steve Ramon, Antonio Cairoli, Katherine Prumm. Grazie alla FIM ed alla UEM, speriamo di ripeterci nel 2008″
