Perhaps this could be seen as a special case and a valid exception to the usual tagging rules applied.

The Solar Challenge vehicles, though racing within strict rules of the public roads are never the less in a Solar Race against time and the usual road users are following their normal highway route. There is likely some interaction between both road users during this time and the normal users are likely to benefit  from being able to view the route on the osm as it is currently mapped as well as other international interest in the race.

It only has use once a year and it is more the route of an event. I see the various odd shaped vehicles go by, but the road is not closed, it is more a cavalcade of vehicles passing along normal highways, subject to normal highway rules
