The 2014 rally was stopped after the deaths of three spectators, and cancelled for 2015.[1] The organisers announced in November 2015 that the event would be reinstated for 2016 in some form.[2] It was cancelled in 2016 however, due to low entries. The Motor Sports Authority refused the rally a permit for 2017.[3]
