Other motorsport venues have managed to continue under similar threats. Noise testing by motorsport UK scrutineers, limiting number of events, documented uninterrupted years of use all help maintain the facility. Plus submitting problem to Motorsports UK who will assist in objection process.
Noise testing is the more important way forward. Watching U tube videos of trial at Butts and elsewhere proove that amongst the pre war cars there are some very noisy ones running as was the norm pre war with open or fishtail exhaust systems, these competitors need to review their attitude to noise. Many non motorsport minded people see noise as a real nuisance, especially if they have migrated from city to rural locations. So get a licenced scrutineer to carry out noise level tests, but warn competitors in regulations and again in advance of event they will not be able to compete if fail test, also let objector know you are taking this action. As a MSUK licenced scrutineer I do this frequently at events.
