There are car clubs in the larger surrounding area of the A50 that participate in many time trials for cars, known as road rallies. There is a brilliant championship going on http://www.emamc.org.uk/road_rally/index.shtml, and these events, like time trials for cycles, have been going on for decades. They are absolutely brilliant fun.
Road rallies do of course cause some inconvenience to residents, and they can't take place without the co-operation of residents and police authorities - but then again nothing takes place without inconveniencing somebody and we all have to give allowances to each other or we'd get nothing done.
The ban-everything brigade are a problem of course - I have no idea what sort of society these tiny-minded people want, where nobody can do anything, and as for people who move into the countryside or into another area and then set about getting long-standing activities stopped - words fail me.
Having said that, i can't imagine that motorsport will appeal to those who find overtaking cyclists difficult.
Hand on my heart, i've never been inconvenienced or even noticed a car rally in my whole driving career. Sounds great fun though.Road rallies do of course cause some inconvenience to residents, and they can't take place without the co-operation of residents and police authorities - but then again nothing takes place without inconveniencing somebody and we all have to give allowances to each other or we'd get nothing done.

Overtaking them is easy. Talking to them though... fk me.
