Enough of this Greenie bashing, what going to happen next?
Will it go to Imola, or are we looking at a circuit in a totally different country perhaps somewhere like Barcelona! |

Hello
IMO the Italians seem to have a good history of coming to "an agreement" over issues like this and no doubt an announcement will be forth coming to such an effect. Some sort of trade off probably. Nick |

The locals never wanted to stop racing altogether. The argument was over whether the circuit was restricted to 75 or 60 days testing and racing each year. The circuit rejected the original proposal from the locals and the court stepped in to force the hand. That is not to say there isn't anything to be worried about. So, as the locals aren't actually trying to stop racing there, I think, in my opinion, that it'll stay at Monza. It was said in a short manner to enable it to emphasise that everyone will get in a tizzy (including myself), but it'll be alright in the end because, simply, it'll stay at Monza. Do you disagree, or agree? And why? |

Let me give you the story according to the LMS organisers and DSC:
The LMS race at Monza is definitely, definitely off............(DSC) Race has been cancelled because "the ecologists have got the better of Monza".........(LMS statement) The LMS organisers are expecting to announce a replacement event by the time the series gets to Istanbul. (DSC) I'd be very surprised to see the Monza race go ahead (in 2006 anyway). |

Thanks Bentley03.
Is there any chance that LMS are looking for an excuse to miss Monza (can't think why) and have a replacement? As there is a decent chance they could race there. Unless I am missing something in the agreement. For instance I have seen nothing of a two noisey race limit? Cheers. |

As I read in Italian magazine AutoSprint the legal cause was initiated by a family that moved there a few years ago (knowing they were moving next to a busy race track)...and has moved away since!!!! These people areonly looking for some money, now the Judge in charge of the cause sentenced something like "car races are damaging and unnecessary...." blah blah triggering the "greenie" profile of the matter. I hope they settle it, otherwise we need another venue...

Has anyone pointed out that LMP racing is at the forefront of alternative fuel technology?

There's obviously more to the Monza cancellation, the threat to the circuit is more to about personal agenda's and $$$$.
It will be sorted, as these things always are. For a start, do you really believe the Italian government could allow the F1 GP to be cancelled without guaranteeing being voted out of office? These green issue's will crop up increasingly in the next gew years, which is precisely why the ACO are impossing noise limitsd (which will become strictor over the years) and encouraging alternative fuels. If 911 RSR's and Marcos can be quietened to the low levels needed to compete in the Britcar 24hrs at Silverstone, anything is possible. |

It appears to me that the understanding the circuit and the Mayor have come to is that Monza keeps F1 & WTCC and everything else go's.
There is no more room for an agreement as I see it, its just plain OFF, OFF, OFF! So I go back to my initial point of what happens next, as I'm now reading reports that an alternative venue will be announced during the first round of the championship in Istanbul. |

Oooh....strong emotive post there
Your view of football may be clouded as you admit you believe "football is crap." I don't know of a football stadium that contains 300000 louts as you say.....remember not everyone is drunk louts either, there's children and people there too. Back to the actual issue, motorsport doesn't do anything "wrong" but it's like anything - you can never win. There will always be people that move close to a circuit and know full well it's there, and then start kicking up about noise etc. |

I guess the difference with football is that you can't hear the crowd from 2 miles away...

If they can do this at Monza ..... they can do it any place they like . This has set a precedent , no question about that in my mind . |

Seems the F1 race could well have been saved - now why can't they reach an agreement for LMS too... |
