		<description><![CDATA[This is not exactly sim-related news but very worth mentioning as the future of one of the world&#8217;s finest race tracks is in jeopardy.
Local residents are threatening the existence of Spa-Francorchamps, Belgium&#8217;s Grand Prix venue, with their noise complaints. Even though Spa has hosted racing since 1921, noise seems to be an issue all of [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[As you may have noticed, VirtualR had a short outage last afternoon. The problem wasn&#8217;t some glitch with the server but a complete overload of traffic, caused by hotlinked images from the Forza Motorsport 3 car gallery story that had been posted in several very popular forums.
Because of these problems, I´ve decided to temporarily disable [...]]]></description>
