Because of terrorist threats and political tension? Looks like someone needs to take a lesson from US New Yorkers. Pu$$i3s.

That's the French for you
The terrorists win.
Sad part is, the whole reason why the terrorist threatens anything, is to get this kind of reaction. Now that the French have capitulated, you think the booger-eaters will leave it alone next year? Not a chance. They gonna cancel the Dakar for good? Next they'll threaten French MGP's and maybe Le Mans. The French gonna throw up the white flag then too?

The French national threat level has been raised from Retreat to Surrender.

What a shame they canceled this event. Mitsubishi has had so much success there. Could have been interesting after the big threat from VW last year...

Yep I just got the word at work this morning, our team is coming back home. It's a shame that some people just don't have the spirit competition and want to ruin it for everyone else.
