Decathlon and on

Question:

In athletics, they have the skinny long distance runners, the chunky shot putters, the muscly sprinters and the lanky high jumpers.

And in motor sports, there are crazy low-slung formula one cars, robust rally cars and super-stretch drag racers.

But also in athletics they have the decathlon, which looks for the best all-round, quite good at everything athlete.

So where is the motor-racing equivalent? Surely someone could invent a race that included a 24 hour road race, a 1/4 mile sprint, a cross-country challenge and, I don't know, a who can tow the heaviest weight contest.

Move aside Bernie Ecclestone, I'm inventing the Global Motor Supreme Challenge - only the strongest cars survive.

Who's up for it? Sponsors?
