We've had motorsport should be banned because it's dangerous, wasteful, uneconomic and melts away polar bears' homes. The next thing on the agenda: it's too loud; grannies can't have their afternoon nap and poor birds are scared away.

Not sure if this is true but I thought that was one of the reasons there is no longer F1 racing at brands hatch.

Could be right, I know that there is a noise abatement order on Elvington now (where hammond crashed) because F1 teams used to go there to do straight line tests and upset the neighbours. For about 2 hours a year probably :?:lol:
