Meeting in Bahrain on single-seater noise 2014

The debate continues, and Grand Prix promoters take the problem very seriously. Ron Walker, promoter of the Australian race, revealed to The Independent newspaper that a meeting of promoters would take place in Bahrain. “This noise is a shame. explains the latter. When a car de Formula 1 is in a straight line, you can't even hear it anymore! This worries promoters, who fear a significant loss of spectators. Some promoters may abandon F1. They will prefer to organize a raceIndyCar or something like that to keep the fans going. In addition, the cost of the race is significantly lower than that of an F1 Grand Prix and their cars make significantly more noise. We cannot continue like this. There will be a meeting of all the promoters in Bahrain, in two weeks, during the Grand Prix. You will see that it will make noise! We will tell Bernie Ecclestone that we have had enough and that this is not what we bought in the first place. »
