It's amazing what you can find with a bit of digging...

The couple bought the house in 1990, when the circuit was more-or-less
closed. It re-opened a few years later, and they've been in fairly
constant dispute since then - the 1998 limits on the number of days for
various noise levels came from a legal agreement with them. Somehow,
though, that didn't stop them buying the other house for their daughter
(the other claimant) in 2000 - coincidentally, the year that the circuit
saw most use...
Now, d'you think it's pure coincidence that that daughter was married to
the developer of both the circuit and those houses in the early '90s,
then underwent a messy divorce from him, BEFORE buying that house and
moving in...?
