Got any more info on the turbo bug?
It sucks about the surround houses even the great Laguna Seca suffers the same problem. Extremely stupid people moving in next to a race track and then complain about the noise. I'd love to evict everyone that has noise complaints and give their house to a track enthusiast.

Hi
The track was built on the extreme outskirts of Sydney in the 1960s Sydney's urban sprawl has caught up with it. It was all owned by a farmer, he was made an offer he couldn't refuse. I will find out some more info on the turbo bug. Steve
