I would like to see additional tags to specify the period that the World Solar Challenge route is being used for the actual race. Not so sure about the route relation remaining as a mapped entity after the race is completed but do not really see a reason why is should not be permanently mapped and updated and rerouted as it changes each year. Will be interesting to see others comments on the mapping of this race route.
