There will be racing action at Spa-Francorchamps this weekend, despite the Belgian circuit losing its license due to the complaints of local residents.

It has emerged that, despite the uncertainty about the longer term future of the famous track, the historic Spa 6 hours endurance race is going ahead this weekend.

The Dutch formule1.nl website said the event organisers objected to the late notice unavailability of the venue and were granted an exemption by the local authorities.

The 2010 Belgian grand prix at Spa has been scheduled for late August.

(repeat from what I said on other Spa article)I am really getting tire of these "Green Peace" "Save The Planet" Idiots. They have their ridiculous so called sports they watch, I.E. Tennis, Polo, LaCrosse....., yet they don't want us race fans to enjoy ours. This amount of carbon being emited is no more than the same amount of carbon being emited from the smoke stacks of the coal fired power plants that is churning out electricity to recharge their boring electric car. Then they cry "Noise Polution", Spa has been there a lot longer then they have been. So move away if you don't like the noise, but leave us motorheads alone. This is just like a "Holy War" only their religion is "Green Peace" and their enemy is the car and all that love it. I really wish the political correctness and the right of others to dictate what everyone must do to please them would just end already.
