Rallye R.E.A.L. Update

I got some more info about this coming weekend's Rallye R.E.A.L.

Over the course of the two day event the cars will travel from Alma, Quebec to St-Jerome, Quebec via a route of approximately 800 kms. The complete entry list, however, is a real disappointment... 18 cars entered, every last one of which is a hybrid.

Joy of joys.

Not a single CNG, LPG, or bio-diesel/biofuel powered car to be seen. No EVs either.

It's quite a let-down when you consider that it's supposed to be an "alternative energy" rally, yet every single car entered runs on fossil fuels. Sure they're "hybrid" so they can get slightly better fuel mileage, but they aren't really alternative since they have to fill up with the same gasoline nearly every other car on the road uses.

Booooring!
