Monza told to keep quiet
Court rules after resident complaints

(GMM) A Milan court has ruled that Monza, scene of the fabled Italian grand prix, keep the noise down.

While it is unclear what effect the news might have on the historic formula one race, the court said motor racing events face bans if a measure is not implemented by the 'Autodromo' to reduce noise.

The court complaint was filed by a group of local residents.

''We've always respected the limits set by the law,'' Monza director Giorgio Beghella Bartoli told La Gazzetta dello Sport newspaper.

The high speed circuit is due to host the Monza Rally this weekend. ''At the moment,'' Beghella Bartoli continued, ''I don't think we risk cancellation.''
