My reasoning maybe flawed and this might be a long shot, but please consider:
If you are a fan of racing games (Forza, GRID, Gran Turismo, Race Pro, etc.) like me, you always find joy in racing some of your favorite tracks -- Road America, Bathrust, Monaco, Monza, Le Mans, et al. Sadly, one of the world's most famous venues is under attack and may not hold another event until the year 2026!!! That place is Spa-Francorchamps.
In my mind, real racing at these famous circuits allow us gamers to virtually race there. Sure it's possible that if there are no longer any real races there that the virtual version of the track will end up in future games. But it's the thrill of watching on television in the hope that one day you can step foot on such hallowed ground to watch in person...or even actually race there.
So I'm asking my fellow virtual racers to show your support to the locals in Belgium and please sign the petition to help save Spa.
