Important: Monza LMS round cancelled
« on: March 28, 2006, 09:18:33 am »
During the LMS test day at Le Castellet it was anounced that the Monza round will be cancelled due to a court decision. Some residents appealed against the use of the circuit because of noise issues (dont ask me what I think about this  >:( :-X ).
Anyway, please sign the following petition if you still want to see races at Monza.

Hell, we were planning on visiting! >:(

Apparently an alternative will be announced at the LMES race in Instanbul, so we can start speculating which alternative circuit it might be...
Paul Ricard? Mugello? Imola? Cateluna? Dijon?
Anderstorp!! ;D

Circuit de Catalunya would suit me fine , I spent a pleasant 2 hours there a few years ago sitting in the February sunshine watching some F1 cars doing some testing a few years ago, when I should have been working.

Don't recall seeing any campsites though.

petition seems to have crashed though, presumably too much demand on the server!

Done - number 10,000!

Would be a criminal decision to close the circuit just because of the NIMBYs who live close...

Same as the muppets who buy houses near airports and then complain about noise from the planes  ???
