The last straw
As an avid BTCC and motorsport supporter, It pains me to read that politically correct Britain has hit my sport, and my local venue, in Croft...

It may be to early for a petition etc, but it could soon be time for all motorsport fans to pull together and rid this cr*p from our venues
(Sorry but Im just so mad on reading this that im typing rubbish in anger, but im sure you are as angry as I am).

There was a related petition organised during last year; and judging by the official Government response it doesn't look as though sites like racing circuits or airfields will get any kind of special dispensation.
Having said that, I live within 300m of a football stadium; maybe I should sue the club for them being responsible for my suffering of "noise pollution" every other Saturday? £150,000 would certainly help pay off that student loan...

It is ridiculous. I suppose they would have a point if they lived there before it became a race track but somehow I doubt that was the case. Bunch of NIMBYs should be kicked out of court if the courts had any sense.

I have absolutely ZERO sympathy with anybody who moves near to an existing facility - be it a racetrack, airport, factory or whatever - then complains about the noise.
If they didn't realise there was a racetrack in the vacinity when they bought their houses then the court action should be against their estate agent or optician, not the circuit.Useful F1 Twitter thingy: http://goo.gl/6PO1u

At least the £150,000 means that the grupy old buggers can move to somewhere else at stop ruining other peoples enjoyment.
Please ignore ALL of the above....

If the wind is in the right direction, it is amazing what you can hear!
You can hardly go simpler than current Rally1 in most of the mentioned areas. Sure the engines could be based on a roadcar block and the aero could be made even smaller (it's already pretty...
