Some of the comments on Facebook are ridiculous
There's one along the lines of "You should know you had this much demand, you should make extra spaces". That it could be fun to sit and pick through the flaws in if you had enough info and time.
The obvious one being the capacity allowed by the french authorities, the ability to provide the services required for riders at the scale required etc. etc. etc.
It's hard enough feeding lunch and tea to 80 cars worth of drivers and navigators, and 20 marshals and officials on Dad's targa rally, getting them through tests and regularities reasonably and having enough venues to cope through the day. What's worse is when snowfall prevents it running, and we've had to completely re-organize it for a second attempt later in the year as you're starting from scratch with a much shorter timescale.
I now just sit in a car at the back of the field, collect clocks and time cards and have what's left of the sandwiches at lunch and of the steak pie at the end.
Once you hit the natural/official limit of what you can provide in a single running, you would need to run two, and that needs double the effort and really double the staff and all other sorts of things...
like people saying "The August PBP is the real one, the May one isn't."
Also noticed somepeople saying they said to ride a 200...
I remember it was along the lines of "ride a 400, or a longer BRM you can as we're expecting high demand"
