It seems LTGP has the resources to carry this out without issue but I suspect it does not generate the press and clicks that discussion of other options does. After a few iterations I suspect this will be the normal rule structure in a few years.

Don't you think the logistics of this get very hard? Does LTGP already have officials in cars/motorcycles watching stuff?
You're almost at a TDF level of problem (maybe worse?) in terms of stopping cheating if you set those kind of rules on such a long race in such isolated areas.
