There is also the solar car 'race' from Darwin to Adelaide. Uses the 
normal road and is open to the public while the 'race' is on. Most of 
the 'track' is fixed as there is only really one road to use. There can 
be variations from year to year where there are alternatives but the 
vast majority of the 'circuit' is set in place.


The more I think about it an 'event' key looks to be a solution for 
those that want to map such things. Of course renders can chose what to 
do with such things as is their right, but mappers have a right to enter 
data? The data is verifiable, well known locally and significant at 
least locally and in some cases internationally.
