Coming in to this thread at 90 degrees here, what really ticks me off is that they are restricting race cars like it's going out of fashion but still allow private planes unsilenced operation. I'm not saying that they should silence planes in the same way but that they should be a little bit more consistent. Live & let live. My mother's house is on the Goodwood flight path and we get an enormous number of planes flying over low and slow doing circuits and bumps, aerobatics including Pitts Specials at full bore and the whole range of Pratt & Whitney rpms. I find it quite astonishing that they have curtailed the noise limits of Goodwood's minimal motor sport activity and yet allow apparently unrestricted private flight noise. We don't complain about the planes because Goodwood was there long before mother's house was. Why don't the Nimby's that have been so active in shutting the circuit up complain about the flying? Or haven't they thought of that yet?

I don't get it...
