Hi,

There is a relationhttp://www.openstreetmap.org/relation/7107501#map=5/-24.173/134.723  for the World Solar Challenge that runs from Darwin to Adelaide.

Presently tagged with;

route=raceway

highway=raceway

This is run on public highways with normal traffic, so it is not a closed raceway.

There are similar events around the world.

I would think that highway=raceway should be deleted, could be confusing for renders.

And the route= could be changed to something like route=solar_challenge or is there a more universal term?

(I would like to see the other events encouraged to use OSM, anyone who says this is not for OSM is simply discouraging use of OSM.)

Thoughts on best tagging for this kind of item?
