Cancelled due to health and safety fears. Again, as I've stated before, this is what is wrong with the world today. People want to impose their standards on others. If someone wants to kill themselves, let them. That's one less polluter. I'm not sure how rally racing has gone on this long.

This is a sad day indeed. I always enjoy watching people run/roll down a hill at break neck (literally) speeds chasing a wheel of cheese.
Now what am I suppose to do for entertainment?

actually RG, the safety concerns were for those watching at the bottom of the hill and crowd control. they were expecting 15,000 people at the event. this is planned to be brought back next year after they figure out a method to increase fan safety.

those silly Europeans
