At the time of writing, nearly 30,000 people had signed an online petition vowing to defend the popular Belgian Grand Prix venue Spa Francorchamps.

A local court recently revoked the historic track's operating license until 2026, following the complaints of local residents about noise.

The petition, which can be found at defendonsfrancorchamps.be, is run by "people who live near the track".

"We want to confirm that we are not disturbed by the permanent work of the circuit," they said.

It truly would be a shame to see the self-proclaimed "most beautiful circuit in the world" get shut down. It's one of my favorite GPs to watch each year because the track really does make passing an option the races there are always full of excitement.

 

that would be a Epic loss to all F1 fans, Spa is such a nice track ad races there are always a blast to watch.

 

Yeah, lets move next to a racetrack then complain about the noise. K.
