Huh, who is really kidding here? Mauritian ‘terrorists’ who’ve travelled all the way from their tropical Indian Ocean island to go and kill rally participants in the North African desert?

The participants would probably have a greater chance of dying from a crash or some other racing related incident rather than from a terrorist attack.

they dont race in a group where they could all be attacked at once anyway.

Well technically a terrorist event can happen anywhere, so what, people gonna hide under the bed? Sounds like politics to me.

Why wasn’t it cancelled right after Sept 11? 2001? 2002? When terrorism was peaking? Why 2008? War on Terror not working eh? Sounds like a complete load!!!

They should turn the rally into a “death race 2000″ style event with high powered weaponry mounted on the bonnet, and support staff dressed in mad max garb.

Difficult but smart move – a major incident could have killed it forever. (Mauritian terrorists killed 4 tourists on xmas eve and have directly threatened the rally)
