In 10 years the Jade Race at Mariensiel Airport has become an internationally renowned racing event with distinction. But in 2020 the facility is no longer available for the Jade Race. The reason: quality problems with the new track surface. One of the most economically and profiled touristic events, and according to the former mayor of Wilhelmshaven, Wagner; one of the main attractions in the region is thus on the verge of being finally closed down. On behalf of the Jade Race UG and of the numerous active men and women of this motorsport, at least 70 volunteers, visitors and fans, as well as the economically committed companies, hotels, restaurants and exhibitors we demand the support of the politicians in finding and providing a facility for this event. This support was decided upon and promised (in the committees for economy, tourism, district development and finances on 09.12.2019) - but since then nothing has happened. Without political support it is almost impossible to obtain the permission needed to hold a race at an airfield. By examining and possibly improving of the surface at Mariensiel Airfield, the continuation of the Jade Race could be secured. Should the result of the examination, that was commissioned by the committee, show that the asphalt complies with the guidelines, the Jade Race UG will take out an organiser's insurance policy that meets the requirements of the District Administrator Mr. Ambrosy. The former airfield in Up Jever could represent an alternative racetrack, through which one could at least enter into a dialogue with the operator. So there are concrete measures in place to support the event. We call on politicians to actively pursue these measures
