I got A feeling in 2/3 years the Epic is going to start battling to sell entires if more of this comes to light and the qualification system gets to A pro-racer level. :whistling:

Been making this sum in my head:

 

EPIC:

 

R 75 000 for team of two -  R 37 500 per person for 8 days/nights = R 4 687,50 pppd

 

S2C:

 

R 13 900 for team of 2 - R 6 950 per person for 3 days/nights = R 2 316,66 pppd

 

QUESTION to okes/ladies who've done both: (I've only done S2C)

 

What makes EPIC charges double?

Grant must be used to the treatment EVERYBODY receives at the J2C. Food and drink as much as you like, and the same for everybody. Served Buffet style, and of restaurant quality.

 

And that at a lot less than your Epic entry fee.

Well done guys. I got sucked into reading a second thread on the Epic today after keeping clear the whole event.

 

Doping first. Now food. What's next.

1. The choppers flying around the whole day doesn't come cheap.

 

2. Someones got to sponsor the food and drink at the hospitality tent. R1800 for a ticket is utterly disgraceful hence why I would never visit it.

 

 

On another point. I see nothing wrong with a drum full of water. The plastic bottles should not be available. Just think of the amount of unnecessary waste generated. We can all do our part and stop paying for water. There is absolutely NOTHING wrong with tap water.

Totally agree on the tap water aspect...

First world problems....

Kind of like how I felt watching the MTB film festival last night - US and EU guys taking strain on their 3 day bike packing trips and "getting away from city life" ... makes you realize how far their realities are away from many if not most of our fellow SA's .
