Thread: Online petition to save the SPA Francorchamp circuit

    Online petition to save the SPA Francorchamp circuit

    Although this circuit may not say much to most of the American member of this forum, what's in stake here is more than an important part of the world's motorsport heritage – it's the future of what we love and holds us together at this and other forums. Please sign it here:

    Thanks for the heads up Vasco. I was aware of the on-going battle to shut down Monza, but not Spa. Seems like this anti-motorsport thing is spreading At Rally Australia this year, 'environmentalists' were hiding in trees and throwing frozen animal carcasses at the cars!

    I can't believe anyone would actually seek to close down Spa. What is the world coming to? Have these people no sense of history?

    Thanks for getting the word out, Vasco. Looks like quite a few signatures in the short period of time since the 19th; hopefully there will be many, many more.

    Thanks for the heads up. Something similar happened in Monza a few years back, and all the races apart from the Grand Prix were cut down

    Thanks for the heads up, I hope everyone who reads this signs the petition. Losing Spa would be a very sad conclusion.
