I was hoping there is one. We are also planning to have a 50 vehicle event, and we will give garmin GPS units with gmapsupp.img created with the track as part of map. I know we can load track, but garmin allows loading of 500 point track only. If there was a way of loading 100,000 point track, things would be simple, but since there isn't it would be great to have a red colored line on the map which the driver has to follow.
