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. Great show.

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.

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...

(#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. I partially agree with J.R. (#9) in bringing the show stateside, but it wouldn’t be nearly as good.

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.

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!

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.

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.
