    For his credibility's sake, he better be a socialist. Because any other politics really don't have much benefit. I hope he doesn't eat pizza. No benefit there. I hope he doesn't watch movies. Just a loss of money.

    I think he must lead a pretty boring life. Or maybes hes a total bullshitter. Possibly both.


    Its funny. There is a house that is less than 100 metres away from the actual manfeild track in my town. They've never complained. For me it'd be pretty awesome living there. And these people are complaining and they live how far away? Jeez....

    If they can race them around a lake in the middle of Melbourne, why's it so hard to do it around the forest in Belgium and Italy? Some people will whinge and complain at anything these days

    I've got an idea... letīs go back to the Turbo era! It's amazing how much quieter the Champ cars are compared to F1s.

    On a second thought, they would have to be less than 1000cc for them to deliver less power than the current V10s!

    Let's call it the "Kei Class" era.

    yeah , but it's different , the 24 hours are so successful that whether the government or something else delete it , it will be condamned by the whole racing world immediatly , that's why the way is clear for them

    So even if F1 doesn't run a race their, these tracks will still stay open?
    Is so, who cares?
    A prayer for F1, in my sig.

    I think F1 sucks (IMO). The racing is boring as hell. Since they discenigrate when they touch tires, they are afraid to get up and pass each other. Same with cart and IRL. Michael Schumacher dominates every race, so that adds another element to the bore factor. They need a system like NASCAR has in the States.

    What I don't understand is that these residents knew full well there was a racetrack nearby when they moved in. They really shouldn't have a legal leg to stand on.

    A Few Whingers vs. Millions into the economy and a heritage that can't be bought. I know which one I would choose.

    A Similar thing happened here in Australia, regarding Luna Park (An Amusement Parlour) which, after some multi-million dollar apartments were put in nearby, was forced to close for a few years because of the Screaming from the Roller Coaster. For god sakes people, invest in double glazing and get the hell over it.

    The ACO would probably do a better job regulating F1

    You obviously didn't watch F1 this year did you? MSC didn't dominate every race. And nascar sucks (IMO)

    I watched two races and those two he did dominate. I don't think i'll ever be up 'till 2:00 in the morning again to watch a bunch of rich snobs cruise their Ferrari's and BMW's around a track.

    One of the races he dominated was at the indy circuit where there was only 6 cars, you shouldn't have had to stay up all night to watch it...

    And you think NASCAR teams are poor working class heros?
