And, pray, what is wrong with that?
It was close enough that I think you'd be able to hear it when races are on. Even if that isn't an issue, think of the traffic on race days...

Germany is really very efficient in these things. It shouldn't be so bad. The trees around the circuit should do a reasonable job of keeping the noise down.
Here in the UK it's another matter... It once took me two hours to get out of Brands Hatch after a BTCC meeting...
Me? if I was that close to a race track, I'd never get *anything* done...

Arsenal have not played well. Just 5 mins added left. Even *listening* to this has been grim...

Arsenal lost. Blast. But Cambridge won both the boat races. Yay! And that was a damn fine BTCC meeting.
Dan Cammish didn't have the best of runs, but hey ho, it's Donny in 3 weeks.
Now watching the WTC from Morocco.

Bluebells are now flowering round here but probably another couple of weeks before the woods turn blue .

I did not like the way the boat race commentators made such a fuss over James Cracknell. It was a team effort for gawds sake.

Tamales for lunch, frozen tamales, but exceptionally good. Takes me back. Tamales this good only came from a stand a blind man had on the sidewalk beside our library (the library a gift of Carnegie). Fellow made everything foodwise himself. He spoke English, but could also lapse into High German, according to my Ma.

I've been to a meeting at Silverstone where I got sunburned on one day, then needed full thermals the next day.

24 hour races can be a pain, even in the middle of summer.
Remember one time at Snet it started out such a lovely day. By the time the race started in the afternoon, it was raining. By midnight it was so cold and wet, Alan Hyde had taken pity on me and let me into the commentary booth - where he had the only working heater at the circuit. By the morning, the track had disappeared under a layer of mud, and by the time the race was over, the water was nearly knee deep in the paddock...
It was the middle of June ffs!!!
That was the only time at a race meeting I'd ever run out of dry clothes.

Dude, you really aren't selling motor sport spectating as a hobby here...

Just think, 24 years ago people were complaining it was too warm. It'd never last.
