I came across this last night, or it appeared on the facebook.

I initially thought it sounded great, and obviously fond memories of the car film are ingrained. Then I got to wondering how many bikers there'd be, how many it needs to turn into a bunch of suicidal idiots (not many I think is pretty clear to most of us).
Then I read this review from 2006. Maybe I'm old before my time but it sounded back then pretty mental. Mental in a bad way. At first I felt bad at the police harassment, but then I realised why with the - just witnessed by one guy - red light antics.
This year it's in Europe somewhere again, and I believe there are still places, and still £2,000 each.
Thoughts?
More than anything it's made me look for an iPad app I can plot my own route on!
