I think they're all getting too slick these days. I love that Tour Divide is not really organised, and the website is terrible and part of the challenge is finding stuff out yourself. Same goes for Highland Trail Race. No fees apart from Trackleaders tracking, that's it. Keep it simple, make the racers do the hard work and scare off lesser humans.
Having a branded car following racers on tour divide would ruin it, part of it is being out there, away from all that fanfare. Each to their own I guess. For me this is the reason I haven't joined TCR etc.
Instagram ruined ultra racing.
