Why are there no subnotes of all the African deaths attributed to this race? I was in Mali a few years back and met a mother whose 7-year-old was killed by a rally driver speeding through their village.
- I added a note about this year's deaths, but I can't immediately find any more on previous deaths. I've read that the civilian death toll is somewhere between 30-40 for the history of the race. --Dewet 08:27, 26 Jan 2005 (UTC)
I for one really don't care about the winners. The list of winners here took a lot of work, does anyone really need it and would it be in a standard encyclopedia? But I don't even care about the winners when I'm watching the race; I'd like to see more coverage of the privateers and the support crews that scraped together all they had to make it out there. --justfred
- Yeah, I also feel that the work is maybe unnecessary. I think that winners are the trivia that history will forget, but I guess there are a lot of people who are interested in exactly that. Dewet 20:49, 11 May 2005 (UTC)
