It is a very sad story, lots of Mini owners are really upset about this!

This sort of event takes enormous time and effort by the organiser.  He hasn't said why it will no longer go ahead but I would suspect that the effort - usually for no reward and often for plenty of criticism - simply became too much.

 

Nothing to stop someone else starting something similar but with safety requirements and the risks of litigation growing every year, it does get harder for an individual to create something from scratch.
