I am quite ok with the tagging as the individual ways that make up the route 
have not been altered.
The relation maps out the route of the Solar Challenge Race. The route as I see 
it serves a dual purpose during the period of the race. 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.
