Unfortunately, more and more UK race circuits are becoming subject to noise curfews and limited to fewer and fewer days. And it?s all thanks to the ?Not In My Back Yard? brigade. It would seem that people buying houses next to race circuits, don?t like the sound of motor racing. Because these aren?t circuits that are only just being built, oh no. Most of them have been there for donkeys years, some for over a century. So to start complaining about it now is, if you ask me, pretty bad form. So if there are any race circuit NIMBYs reading this, for the sake of humanity, please listen to what I?ve got to say.

Don?t buy a house next to a race circuit

Come on, you knew it was there, didn?t you" It was probably there before the house was built. And there?s a good chance that you got a stonking deal on it because of the fact that every now and then, if the wind?s in the right direction, you can hear the bikes or the cars going round. If you?re the type of person that can?t stand the sound of people enjoying themselves, don?t buy a house next to a race circuit.
If you?re desperate for absolute silence, buy a house where there?s no pubs, no railways, no roads, no wildlife, nothing. Imagine the fun you?d have there.

Put some music on

But if you do live in a house where there?s a bit of noise coming from a race circuit a mile or so away, why not pop a bit of music on to drown it out. Making some noise of your own really is very easy to do. You could even get so...
