The Show Must Go On!

I agree with #1. The worst Top Gear episode is still 10x better than the best Car&Driver Television episode ever (or for that matter all of the not-so-subtle infommercial crap that are poor attempts at being car enthusiast shows in the US). This show must go on regardless.

Im surprised that the race course itself it not somehow lasted as exempt from noise. Much like and industrial or some commercials zones in the use where there are minimum noise pollution restrictions. The race course, we have two, in my county make lots of noise late into the night, well past the 10pm noise ordinance.

They at least need to keep the track available for Stig and celebrity lap times.

That is such crap, people need to lighten up and get a life.

The Top Gear race track is actually an airfield. Surely the sound of a jet aircraft taking off is more annoying, and louder, than a supercar engine at high revs?

This is PC enviro-mentalism gone mad. What next..ban personal autos because of noise/air polution?

I wonder if that’s the ultimate goal..duh

Even if a track or noise source is long-established, new development can still ruin it. A local dirt track, on the edge of town by the municipal airport, was shut down because new homeowners complained.

Why would anyone move into new development by a racetrack? Answer that, and you see the source of complaints: idiots.

Top Gear’s problems are double because they’re in Orwellian Britain, the home of speed cameras, congestion fines, etc. I say bring the show stateside and make the US and BBC version one and the same.

Just starting the average jet takes a fuel truck, and a generator I think but there is other support equip required. Then add the jets, jet fuel starter which is no more than an engine itself. Loud as hell! That’s a crock let top gear live you blokes!

Just plain stupidity if you ask me- this is so ridiculous. I think it is just a witch hunt- knowing that Mr Clarkson is a very controversial person I won’t be surprised to find the stupid so-called environmentallist behind this.
It is a great show, and It has to go on.

It’s probably a move by all these enviro-nuts trying to squelch Clarkson and Top Gear.

It’s happening everywhere so I am not suprised TG is having a problem with it. Tracks all over the states are getting closed because of this problem and whats sad is most of the tracks were there before the houses.

You can’t race on the street and you can’t race on the track. Where are you going to race?

This is bull****. Of you don’t like noise, you have no business living or working near a racetrack. Either move away or shut up. Don’t ruin the world for people who enjoy it.

I don’t think the UK will be happy until they’ve banned the automobile altogether. Sad.

Pure BS if you ask me.

god sometimes i wish britain was just destroyed in WWII, the germans would have done better

GSH,

With comments like that, you make it hard for the rest of us not to perceive you as anything but an idiot.

Jon.

I still cant get over the fact that all of this is for noise..

Also didn’t they just get a new studio?

Also didn’t they just get a new studio?

I am sure they can find another track if they get banned from the current one. Top Gear rocks!

Clarkson will never come stateside. He hates too many things about America and is too proud of being British.

I partially agree with J.R. (#9) in bringing the show stateside, but it wouldn’t be nearly as good. They’d never have as immediate access to as many cars. I’d love to see Stig test drive a Z-06, but an F430 is just so much nicer.

Topgear will never come stateside. If all else fails they will probably move the production somewhere else and duplicate their test track there ( have to keep it consistant ). This is just a bump in the road…

I absolutly love Top Gear. Its incredibly refreshing, always entertaining, and always leaves me begging for more. This is just another example of people being stupid and a few ruining it for the many.

Jon,

With comments like that, you make it hard for the rest of us not to perceive you as anything but taking yourself far too seriously.

Ben.

Great show.
In the US it really should be on Speed network though.
It should be allowed to proceed unfettered as they see fit.
Folks really have no one but themselves to blame for this type of condition though. We vote in the dummies who allow this type of complaint to find traction.
If we want it to change we have to throw out the liberals and the enviro-fascists and find some common sensible middle ground.
