They need retro tracks as well. The big open track takes away the spectacle

You can't get more retro than Lydden, it's the original rallycross circuit

They are using the original Lydden Hill rallycross track. I've watched rallycross on TV from Lydden since the 1980's. The configuration of the rallycross track has not changed for retro rallycross.

Is the modern world embarrassed about car engine sounds? It’s like the cameras had their microphones turned off, and then some random road car sounds have been added, quietly, during editing. Thankfully I went to lots of rallycross back in the 80s into the early 90s. Back then it was rough, exciting, loud, and had a good social life attached to it.

Not quite. What's happened is that boy racers on the road have fitted loud pipes for street use every day of the week and the public got sick of it, so when it comes to the weekend the last thing they want is more racing noise so they complain to the council about both. Because the land is usually under council control they can easily get the circuits to reduce their noise levels or threat of closure. Where as the roads are under Police control who do nothing about the problem. Ideally you'd have petrol heads agree to behave on the road and have race circuits unlimited.

John Button did not race this particular Beetle but Jenson Button did drive this very car at Lydden Hill with David Coulthard as passenger. Jenson gets SO excited as he is driving the Beetle that he ends up sounding like a woman! John's Beetle had about 200hp. This Beetle has 600hp.
