More subtle ones will always go on. Just look at the groups of mate's just heading for the Ring. I'm sure there is spirited driving and plenty of fun in the evenings, just no stickers or cameras. I suppose it depends what is important to the individual.

We didn't have any problems on Top Run last week. Although we drove from Berlin to Monaco via Budapest - Zagreb - Dubrovnik and Lake Garda it seemed like only police in Berlin cared.

But I think what happened on Gumball will definatly have a negative effect on road rallies and organised driving events in general.
