Shame there's no variety, as much as I like all the BTCC circuits (from the spectator's view), it'd be great to have some new circuits coming in. I know this will probably never happen but would be great to see some smaller tracks upgraded so that they could host BTCC.

If you could arrange for all of the neighbours of every other circuit in the UK to ignore the noise and the huge numbers of spectators, go for it!

The planning people and the various restrictions they've imposed on all the other circuits might want to have a chat though...

Well, I can't do that unfortunately, that's why the only thing left for me is to keep dreaming... and be happy with what we have

Sad thing is, the circuits in most cases were there before the residents, why buy a house near a race circuit then complain about the noise?

Because all the houses near Airports are sold

I’m not super familiar with the case but I believe that’s what happened with Castle Combe

They buy the house next to a track because it will be cheaper (due to the track proximetry). They then moan enough for the track to get shut down (or no longer have a viable business case) and their house value goes up

This happened at Brands Hatch and Mallory Park. As you say, why buy a house near a race circuit? NIMBY'S all of them!!!

Still early days, prefer to wait for more of this season to have happened before thinking of next season

[S griffin]

I have some sympathy for residents who find the noise to happen more than expected, but a lot of them should know what they are getting into

Pink and green sky last night. Does this mean Tony is back?

I'm sure he's coming back with a Kia.

[Pickles]

He was keeping a very low profile this weekend.
