Re: Spa 2009 sounds like a plan, if we cant race at the circuit then we'll race around the town.

Re: Spa 2009 the only thing we miss then is the lap around the circuit... Lap around the supermarket instead?

Re: Spa 2009 Indeed! The word is that the residents have problems with weekday racing mainly, but I've just been talking to my friend who's going out there to crew for a car in this weekends 6hr race, they have heard loads of chinese-whispers about whats happening, but nothing certain, except it seems Spa are going to Brussels to get the ruling overturned tomorrow. I'm going to keep in touch with him all weekend and see if he can give us any better news from the Circuit. Tom, remind me closer to the time and We'll fill the bamboo up with strongbow.

Re: Spa 2009 from 'AUTOSPORT' Quote:
GO TO EARLIER STORY GO TO THE NEWS INDEX GO TO NEXT STORY
Noise row temporarily closes Spa
By Edd Straw Wednesday, September 23rd 2009, 17:04 GMT
Spa Francorchamps start 2009Belgian Grand Prix venue Spa Francorchamps has been reopened following the suspension of a ruling which temporarily closed the circuit because of noise complaints, AUTOSPORT understands.
The track was briefly closed in response to complaints raised by a not-for-profit anti-noise organisation whose name literally translates as 'the quiet ones'. Although the group originally lodged its objection in 2007, the local authorities did not take action until this week, when a 17-year closure order was imposed.
However, following a meeting of government officials, sources have said that the closure of the circuit has been called off pending further legal discussions to take place next week following Spa's decision to appeal against the decision.
This means that this weekend's blue riband Spa Six Hours historic event can go ahead, although a lasting solution to the noise disputes still needs to be found.
Circuit boss Pierre-Alain Thibaut admitted in an interview with Belgium's Le Soir that the situation "calls the whole viability of the track into question", but added that since the original complaints were made the track has made significant developments in reducing the environmental impact of its activities.
"Since the complaint was made, the situation has changed," said Thibaut. "The track has worked hard to reduce noise pollution and our relationship with local residents has been much improved."
Sources at Spa claim that the track complies with the stipulated noise limits, and are hopeful that the situation will not threaten the long-term future of the circuit. Looks like we're still in limbo. Maybe next week we will find out!
