That is a good idea!
Perhaps as the March 15th departure date approaches, we can get a Competitours Sticky page???
If it is set up in Community Buzz, the greater FT community will easily be able to track the competition and join in the fun (albeit virtually) as each of the teams post up-to-date details from the road. Given the teams will need daily internet access, it should not be difficult for us to post nearly real-time updates as we go. ^
That way everyone will know that Team Cleveland took a wrong turn and ended up in a canal in Amsterdam... well, you get the idea.
