I still remember the first (!) Las Vegas Champ Car race where I complained about an advertising hoarding and asked for it to be moved further away from the corner because the cars hid behind it.

Race control refused...





on the grounds that the reverse side was the 200m board for the corner... They did move it up, though, so it wasn't in line of sight.
