F1Racer:But screw’emits one weekend out of a year, you don’t like it, then MOVE !

To be fair, according to the website, they’ve got a pretty full schedule of racing at the track.

Also, after 6.2 seconds of searching, I found this page. http://www.historic-motor-racing-news.eu/2009/10/defend-spa-francorchamps/

It seems to fill in a few gaps in the story, although if the residents aren’t the ones complaining, who is?

Nevertheless, seems to me, all that needs to happen is for the track organisers to do an environmental impact study that satisfies the council, as per the terms of their license.

Might pay to have another look at these alleged ‘complaints’ and who made them, too.

On a lighter, less wall-of-text note. I couldn’t help noticing this line.
Nothing personal F1Racer, I don’t mean to offend you, It just always brings a giggle when i see a line like this.

F1Racer: I don’t hate overweight people, I have friends who are overweight

“I don’t hate Mexicans, I’ve got friends who are Mexicans”

My points are:

- Spa was already there, it couldn’t have come as a surprise to the residents

- Spa has historical value and needs to be protected

- I really like the track in NFS: Shift

Never there was a problem and now suddenly…

It’s the same with Zolder (strict soundregulations)
Why?

Because the people (mostly very rich) bought a house that’s in a distance of 200m of the circuit, im sorry but you knew that there was a circuit and THEY should adjust!
These kind of people deserve a punch in the face

Crowbar:
Easy big fellow , I’m a big fat bastard and it’s simply because I put in more food than I burn off, it is that simple but fuck its hard to stop eating good food. I hate being a fat bastard but it’s my choice because i choose to put more food in my fat gobb than i need to. I feel tiredand shit and sweat like a dirty dog, and adjust my sweaty nut sack every couple of minutes, always feel tootired to exercice because i eat junk food It’s a viscious circle , by choice of course. Don’t make excuses for being a fat bastard and don’t blame other reasons for it just have a cup off cement and harden the fuck up.

Yep, same here. The food is just too good to pass up and excercise makes you sweaty and uncomfortable: besides, a fat person looks silly excercising. I also have a pretty good excuse, my racing seat fits my fat ass *just* right, if I were to lose weight it would become too big for me.

Speaking of Poznan track, there was a protest last year, problem was it happened at the time of a final run of the extremely competetive and fun to watch crash fest that Kia Picanto Cup is. Who the **** paid any attention to the protesters at such a moment: I don’t know. Maybe the guys who ran the C5R earlier? Or the driver of that F3000 car? That one was so ‘quiet’ it actually made my diaphragm vibrate (no joke!) every time it passed my flag post.

UncleChuckle: These people need to be legal to hunt and kill. Seriously. WTF DID YOU MOVE NEXT DOOR TO A RACE TRACK FOR THEN? I mean if it’s built AFTER you move in, fair play, but Spa, Monza, both have had this bullshit AND THE CIRCUITS HAVE BEEN THERE SINCE BEFORE THESE IDIOTS WERE BORN.
God I hate these people. Truly HATE them. “Oh, I am not a fan of this, therefore despite me moving next door to it, it must go.” SCREW YOU! You don’t move next door to an airport then expect them to close the airport down. Well, you don’t unless you’re an idiot.F1Racer: Fuck off. Obesity is bullshit. It’s a far more complex issue than overeating and pricks like you don’t help matters. I barely eat a fucking thing and I am. Yet I know people scrawny as fucking rakes who eat twice what I do. Hating fat people is the last allowed prejudice. I bet you’re a racist too.

I love McDonalds and Burger King. It’s junk, but it’s nice junk as long as you only eat it once a week. I don’t care if the greenies say it’s killing the rainforest and the polar bears, they are all insane.

People who move near to a racetrack and then complain about the noise should be shot in the back of the head.

I wonder if they also realize the impact that it would have on the local economy without an annual F1 race there?!

A slight over-reaction there. It seems I touched a nerve and an over-sensitive person such has yourself saw fit to lash out.
Normally I would have apologised for offending you, but after that outburst, you more deserve a punch in the face. You are an insulting and bitter sad individual. Every post you make here is doom and gloom and negative criticism.
I think to most people it was clear that it was nothing more than a bit of edgy humour really.
I don’t hate overweight people, I have friends who are overweight and I don’t judge them at all. I see them for the person they are, not what they look like. What’s on the inside counts. So I feel you are pre-judging me and doing so because you are sensitive on the issue and seemingly took me literally as if I was deadly serious. That’s worrying.
I don’t see how racism has a connection but no, I’m not racist either. In fact I don’t have any prejudices that I know of.

However, when it comes to obesity, I do have opinions on this subject and the huge portions of food that is dished out in America which is full of excessive consumption and is very wasteful when it comes to food. But thats a whole other story.

Oh yeah, and WHAT food shortage? I seem to recall the grocery stores around here all have full shelves.

Quit talking out your ass.

What food shortage ? Really ? I’m stunned by such an ignorant question. As long as your stores and fridge is full there’s no problem right ?
I assume you are in America because the world seems to end at the US shoreline for a lot of people there.

Your grocery stores being full does not depict a picture of global food production. There always plenty of chickens and beefburgers because they are artificlly fattened up and the whole process is accelerated to keep us all fed. Chickens have a 48 day lifespan which is half was it was a decade or so ago.
What food shortage ? One third of the planet is starving. Yet at the same time America continues to consume food excessively and serve unnecessarily huge portions a lot of which is wasted.
What food shortage ? The planet is edgeing very close to food unsustainability. Do you know what that is ? That is when the population grows to such a level that the Earth cannot grow or produce enough food on a daily basis to feed everyone.
Water is going the same way. Educate yourself because you ask stupid questions like that.

Also the next time you have a pop at me like that I won’t be giving you a diplomatic reply. That response of yours was well out of order. Maybe once you calm down and get of your high horse you`ll see that.

Like all these sorts of stories, they are usually greatly over-exaggerated. The only thing that will shut down race course or likewise is lack of funding.

Quit talking out your ass.

God I hate these people. Truly HATE them. “Oh, I am not a fan of this, therefore despite me moving next door to it, it must go.” SCREW YOU! You don’t move next door to an airport then expect them to close the airport down. Well, you don’t unless you’re an idiot.

Sensekhmet: It’s even better in Poznan.

F1Racer:
Yep I agree.But dont get me started on this housing thing.Over population man. Otherwise why move or even build near an airport or a racetrack ?
We need a population cull.Obese over-eaters first to go as this solves the food shortage at the same time ;) – and cuts down the population of USA by about 70%

I agree with your solution :D
