Dakar Rally Cancelled

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/22502229/

"The annual Dakar Rally was canceled Friday on the eve of the race because of terror threats and the recent slaying of a French family in Mauritania that was blamed on al-Qaida-linked militants."

Oh well, VW hasn't got much time and money invested in the event anyway

i could comment, but then this would get kicked to off topic

sad indeed- But this is not new to the rally. A french team got shot up ( I don't remember how many were killed) many years ago when they drove into one of the towns at night.

That's a great idea! Compared to what they've got invested already (with no return on the $), what more would it cost to fly the circus over here?

That REALLY, REALLY sucks... I hope to heck they figure out someway of still having the race this year, if not I can almost see the event slowly dieing. I cant believe the effect those scum bags have on us and the thing we like to do
