How about limbo?
On Saturday it is limbo for you and your show car – win the prize as Gatebil’s lowest. See schedule for time and place.
Limbo is open to all cars that participate in Gatebil Showgarden and no pre-registration is required, it is enough that you register on site.
Remember that no other means are allowed than the driver, as well as the passengers in the car.
To showcase your car at Showgarden, you have to have an interesting car and a weekend ticket to the chosen Gatebil festival for you and your car. There are no extra tickets to Showgarden itself.
