My friend has set up a site to save our circuits. I thought I would post it here.

(His words)

I have set up a project Save Our Circuits to help stop residents who move next door to a racing circuit and start complaining about the noise.

http://saveourcircuits.co.uk is the site where you can sign to support.

Sorry for the blatent site plug but i hope this message can get across to the councils and government (leaving politics out of course) for the good of the motor industry if theres plenty of support from every motorsport fan smile

If it was a sticky at the top of every forum, and every active PHer signed up for it, I'm sure it would have an overwhelming response. If a PHer thinks it's not in their interest then they may frequent the wrong website!

Great idea.

Along with the Motorsport forums on here might be worth sticking it in the Midlands forum as well.

Along with Croft and Castle Combe, Curborough Sprint Track recently came under threat (albeit for slightly different reasons) but has been subject to local pressure from newly relocated NIMBYs over noise in the recent past as well.

I know theres a few on that forum that go to Curborough regularly who would probably add there names on to the list.

Someone made a petition about NIMBYs wanting to close race tracks/air fields a while ago and the Broon essentially said "I don't give a fk" iirc.

Bah. That would have had a much better chance of a decent response had it been worded properly. As it is, it'll just be dismissed with "but local residents' quality of life is being affected by the excessive noise".

This site is now dead, very much like the motorsport industry due to some person who has ruined this site. While I could post his name and IP addresses, I wont.

Despite the efforts of the site and all the supporters to safe guard the future of British motorsport (thank you to those who did support the project), then the motorsport industry and/or the circuits will suffer in the future.

Sorry its come down to this, but obviously some people are happy for the government to ruin our lives and take away any bit of fun and freedom we might have left in this God forsaken country.

If anyone wishes to take up where this site has started, then I wish you the best of luck.

Now, if you excuse me, I'm going to go on a killing spree to vent my anger.
What happened?
